You Are Beautiful

This week I was scrolling through my twitter feed and saw a picture of what I saw as a beautiful model in a cute swimsuit. When I looked at the caption it said, “Looking Good: Plus-Size Supermodel Robyn Lawley Models Her Own Swimwear”. For those of you that haven’t seen it or don’t know about it, the picture is below.

 


If you’re like me then you might be thinking “WHAT? This girl isn’t plus-size?” But sadly enough in the modern world she is deemed “of a size larger than the normal range”.  I did some digging and discovered that Robyn Lawley used to be a “regular” size model, but she chose her health and eating as she pleases over modeling in the mainstream world. You go girl! I can’t help but view her as an inspiration to many people struggling to see beauty in their size.


If you’re reading this, I ask you to please take care of your body. Don’t let the modern, anorexic models that define our culture be your inspiration. Stay healthy, fit, and happy. Love your body the way God loves it. You were created in the image of God, and God knew what He is doing when He made you! God sees you as a masterpiece; and when you look in the mirror, He wants you to "know that full well." Do not let anyone tell you that you aren’t beautiful.

“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” (Psalm 139:14)
