You're Beautiful, Valentine

Happy Valentine's Day!  The latest offering, from MercyMe, is to honor the beautiful people in our lives.  For our children - especially our daughters - who can get wrapped up trying to look "just right."  For anyone struggling to overcome adversity, abuse, self doubt or pain.  For our spouses and partners - the folks we've most likely taken for granted and perhaps left feeling under-appreciated.  Truly its for all people who have battled the feeling that they're not good enough.

Ever feel unattractive, undesirable, ugly, unwanted ?  Maybe even on the inside ?  I've been there -  I'd guess that we all have at one time or another.  "Beautiful" , reminds us that we are so much more than our fears and insecurities lead us to believe. 

You're a beautiful person - inside and out.  You are treasured. You are sacred.  Christ sees your true beauty and loves you wholly, totally, unconditionally.  Sounds like a pretty good Valentine to me....
