You are Priceless

“You’re so beautiful.”

There were two other people in the room and the woman wasn’t speaking to me.

My first thought was: What does that make me?

I’ve been insecure about my looks all my life. In my mind, I’m still the pudgy little elementary school girl with glasses. So when someone tells another in front of me that they are beautiful, then doesn’t throw in a morsel for me, I immediately think, That must mean I’m ugly.

If you struggle with your appearance like I do, I want you to know that God sees you as a beautiful daughter, dear sister. You’re made in his image. When you allow bulldozer thoughts to tear down your image of yourself, you are sending a message to God about his image as well.

As for myself, my sweet Heavenly Father knew this bout of insecurity was coming so he did some preventative work to remind me of who I am in him. Today, it’s also a reminder of who you are in him.

As I’ve written before, God wakes me up with a worship song every morning and then I start my quiet time by singing the song back to him. For the past few days, my morning alarm was the tune, “Priceless” by King and Country. I don’t normally hear the same song three days in a row, so I knew the Lord wanted this holy memo to sink in.

I believe he saw what was ahead.

The piece has beautiful lyrics about how God views us dressed in white and like a blooming rose.

You’re irreplaceable, unmistakable, incomparable

Darling, it’s beautiful

I see it all in you

Oh, so priceless.

We are irreplaceable.

Unmistakable.

Incomparable.

We are priceless and the apple of God’s eye.

We are also daughters of the King. Galatians 3:26 says, “So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith.”

Today, dear sisters, I want you to know that you are beautiful and priceless. You are an intricate, intentional creation of God and there is no one like you.  Never be disheartened about the way you look or about your unique personality. You are God’s design and he loves you just the way you are.
