You Are Enough.

From the galaxy of freckles upon your face to the sunset of bruises upon your arm to the colorful sky within your eyes, you truly are a masterpiece.

If we could change everything we didn't like about ourselves, would we genuinely be satisfied? Song of Solomon 4:7 says, "You are altogether beautiful, my darling; there is no flaw in you."

We, as a generation, are convinced that we aren't "enough." Not pretty enough, skinny enough, intelligent enough, etc. We constantly worry about our so-called imperfections and never stop and think about how much we are truly adored by our Savior. Psalm 8:3-4 says, "When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?" God created the moon and the stars, yet he put so much thought into creating you and thinks that you are absolutely breathtaking.

How can you sit there and think that you aren't enough when the creator of the universe wants to listen to every single word that travels out of your mouth? How can you sit there and think that you aren't enough when He was nailed to a cross to die for you, knowing just how precious you were going to be before you were even brought into existence? How can you sit there and put yourself down on a daily basis, even though every little aspect of you, from your head to your toes, was all meant to come together to compile the pieces of your lovely soul? From the galaxy of freckles upon your face to the sunset of bruises upon your arm to the colorful sky within your eyes, you truly are a masterpiece. You are so worth loving. You are enough. Your worth does not rely on how much you weigh or what kind of clothes you wear or what others think of you. Because you are a child of God, you are flawless in His eyes.

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.
