Young women, this is what I would like to say to you:
You don't need makeup to be beautiful.
You don't need to be skinny to be beautiful.
You don't need to believe the lies of the world.
You don't need to be physically strong to be beautiful.
You don't need to have a boyfriend to be special.
You don't need to act like something you're not.
You don't need to fit into a mold.
You don't need to dress like everyone else to be beautiful.
You don't need to lower your standards to get a husband.
You don't need to compromise your modesty to be loved.
You are beautiful and you are loved.
John 15:9 "As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love."
Proverbs 31:30 "Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised."
And in my opinion, I believe the world would be a much more beautiful place if it was filled with Mother Teresas as opposed to Marilyn Monroes.
