They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I believe that that is mostly true. But I believe that there is beauty in every person, and that everyone who looks at you should be able to see some aspect of that. We are all beautiful and we all have value. Even in your hardest and weakest moments, you are still so important.
When you think of all of the people who live in the world it can be hard to imagine that you are significant. But each and every one of us has value and worth and a purpose that only we can live out. For starters I just want to say that no number defines your worth. Be that how much money you make, your age, your GPA, your IQ, the number on scale, how long you've been sober, or how long you have struggled. Those things do not define you in any way shape or form. What defines you is simply how God sees you. Now if you aren't a Christian or you don't know much about God that might sound scary, but He sees you as valuable. He created the world YET He thinks YOU are beautiful and important. He thinks you are to die for.
In Luke 12:6-7 there is a lesson that I really like. It says, "Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows." These verses show that God cares about what happens to something as small and seemingly insignificant as a sparrow. So why would we ever doubt that He cares about us? To Him you are more valuable than the sun and more beautiful than the stars.
I know sometimes it's easy to feel worthless and like things are never going to get any better, but they do. You are not worthless and there is light at the end of what ever hard situation you are facing at the moment. So please don't make any rash choices while you are hurting, hearts and relationships mend, bodies heal, and the sun always rises. Hold on till morning, it always comes.
Please never forget: You are loved. You are valued. You are needed. You are seen. Never forget you are the prized possession of an almighty King. To Him you are worth dying for. And to Him you are a thousand times more valuable than the stars. YOU ARE HIS BELOVED. YOU. Not the person you want to be. But you as you are right now in this moment with all of your broken pieces and your imperfections. He makes you worthy. He makes you holy. It isn't something you have to fight for. He gives it to you as His child. And as long as you abide in Him nothing in this world could ever wash that away or make you any less valuable in His eyes.
Always remember He sees you and He knows you.
