God made each one of us special. We are made in His image. Wow—what an awesome thought! So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. (Genesis 1:27, ESV)
But let’s say you feel self-concious about something–you walk with a limp or you struggle with your speech. You’re aware of standing apart from the crowd.
Remember you are fearfully and wonderfully made! I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. (Psalm 139:14, ESV)
The Lord does not see us as man see us. For the LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart. (1 Samuel 16:7, ESV)
Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. (1 Peter 3:3, NIV)
Don’t focus on what you may perceive as negative. Focus on the positive!
