What is your initial response when anyone suggests you are beautiful? I tend to shrug it off.
Do you find you engage in a lot of negative 'self-talk'? How much of your thought life does this form of thinking consume? I have really dealt with this all of my life, very negative self image, as a matter of fact, no self confidence. My father said to me when I was 15 years old, that I would never amount to anything because I was too fat. I was told on my 22 birthday by my mother, that I was a mistake, her and my father did not want me, she tried to abort me. My stepfather sexually abused me when I was 17. But, you know what? God wanted me, He created me in His own image. and God is beautiful. Therefore, so am I. My earthly father may not love me, but my heavenly Father created me, to love me.
Has it ever occurred to you that you are a City Girl? How do you plan to use this knowledge?
In what ways has your view of Godly beauty changed as a result of these Scriptures? It had never occurred to me that I am a city girl, I really love this concept. I am fully going to embrace this new knowledge. This lesson has truly touched my heart.

Oh, Denise, I am so sorry that your parents felt about you in this way...You are right, though. He loves you for who you are and He even died for you so you can sit at His table of all the Saint...Looking forward meeting you there :)
Blessings to you and yours on this Wednesday afternoon.

Thank you so much for joining in this study...The key is constant daily renewal of the mind to overcome what you have. This isn't a subject we tackle and then move on...I've dealt with some of these same issues...It is wonderful you have learned to listen to the Voice of Truth!
