Worth

While hanging out with some friends the other night, one of the guys pulled out his phone and began to share with other people in the room some pictures a girl had sent him. I think you know where this going, these pictures were of this girl posing in front of a mirror wearing next to nothing. It made me sick. Sick that he would willing share something so private, that she sent to him in confidence with a room full of people. It made me sick for her. Since this incident I haven't stopped thinking about her, and how she must feel about herself to do such a thing. My major in college has made it so I've had to take many psychology courses and I know that for a girl to objectify herself in such a way is a tell-tale sign that she is struggling with some sort of self-esteem issue or emotional problem. No matter how confident she may appear on the outside, there is something deep down that is crippling her in ways that I don't think anyone just looking at her could understand. The fact that she needed to be validated in this way of her beauty and sexual appeal makes me want to cry. Every woman is beautiful. We may not all be super models but we all have traits that make us beautiful and amazing.

As women we are beautiful beings who have a divine duty in this life; and there is no reason for us to demean the beauty that is given to us. Ladies, don't forget this. Never feel that you have to please a man (or anyone else for this matter) and prove to him that you are worth the love and attention he can give you. Someone loves you more than you will ever know. He sent us here to this Earth to carry out the divine role of a woman; we are here to be nurturers, mothers and the most loving individuals we can be. Objectifying our bodies was not the purpose he had in mind for us and I'm sure it breaks his heart whenever one of his beautiful daughters belittles her role and worth. Remember your worth is great in the eyes of God. And even when you are feeling down on yourself or are thinking about doing something that devalues you as a person and a daughter of God, remember that he loves you. It doesn't matter what others think of you. You need to have respect for yourself and the purpose you have on this earth.
