Girls wake up to comparisons and judgments every single day. We turn on our phones and see pictures of our versions of flawless and gorgeous. We look in the mirror and pinch our fat and gaze at our pores. We pay hundreds of dollars to try to achieve the beauty we envision and spend more money when that doesn’t work. Our lives are spent wanting this and wanting that and wishing we could be like her.

So the next time you wake up with the comparison attitude, stop and think about these quotes, and remind yourself that you were made beautiful. You were made in His image.

Let’s stop the comparison here.

1. Altogether beautiful

God specifically calls us beautiful multiple times in the Bible. He sees us as the most precious thing and I have a feeling He wouldn't like us putting ourselves down.

2. Rather be

George MacDonald put the right words together in this quote of his. What God has chosen you to be is more beautiful and spectacular than you could have ever envisioned.

3. Save me from myself.

It's true, we are our own worst enemy. God loves us and strives to protect us every day. He is there for us when we aren't even there for ourselves.

4. My worth

You are literally God's child. Your worth is found in Him, not in this earth, and certainly not in an Instagram picture.

5. One day...

One day these things won't matter. These problems and issues and the tears you've cried will all be gone. And what's left? God. He is the only constant in all of our crazy lives.

6. I didn't ask...

God made us in HIS image. We are all made uniquely and for a reason. Never doubt that. Or criticize the painter's masterpiece.

7. My Princess

A beautiful letter from God to you. In His eyes, you are His princess. He is always with you and will never leave you.

8. Crush him.

The enemy strives for us to compare ourselves and be in despair when we don't match up to the worldly expectations. He loves it when that happens, and gains power off of it. Always remember that God is always sovereign and will crush the enemy with His feet. His words are power.

9. Revive

A perfect prayer to say when you are feeling down on yourself.

10. Peace of Christ

Directly from God to you, words of wisdom right here.

11. For a purpose

God looked at the world and thought, "man, the world could really use one of (insert name here)".

12. You were made in His image.

God makes no mistakes, therefore you are beautiful and no one can tell you otherwise.

As you wake up tomorrow, remember these quotes. Print them out, write them down, sticky them all over your mirror, because the enemy will try to break you. You just must remember what YOU are to GOD.

His precious, beautiful, child.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
