Insecurity can creep in when you least expect it.
You catch a glimpse in the mirror or you hear an offhand comment and suddenly you're criticizing
everything about your body.
But your worth isn't tied to how you look.
Your body is more than its appearance.
It carries you through life.
It lets you experience joy and helps you show up for the people you love.
And that is worth appreciating.
And remember those quote unquote flaws you see?
They don't define you.
They're just part of your story.
A story that's so much bigger than what meets the eye.
The chapters of resilience and growth and love you've written far outweigh any perceived
imperfection that momentarily catches your attention.
Speak to yourself the way you would a dear friend.
You wouldn't criticize her.
You'd remind her of her strength, her beauty, and the light she brings to the world.
This compassion that you so freely give to others deserves to flow back to you, nurturing
the relationship with your own reflection.
Let go of those impossible standards that have been photoshopped and filtered and changed.
Your body is good, just as it is.
In a world that profits from your self-doubt, choosing loving yourself becomes a revolutionary
act of courage.
You are worthy, valuable, and beautiful, right here, right now.
God crafted you with intention, weaving together every cell and curve with purpose.
You are not a mistake to be corrected, but a masterpiece to be celebrated.
