Worthy of More

   You are worthy of more. If you're reading this, then this message is for you. You are worthy of more than a man who looks at you only with lust. You are worthy of more than a passing glance, and you deserve to know how it feels to be loved for who you are instead of what you look like. And if any guy ever wants you to give up a piece of yourself for his fleeting desires, then he is NOT worthy of your time or of your heart. I know it's hard to feel like you'll never measure up to what the world says you're supposed to be. You may not have the look, or the personality, or the goals that people want you to have. You may overstep the unwritten rules of what is considered to be the "perfect girl". But you are beautiful and you are worthy of someone who looks at you not with his own eyes but with the eyes of your Creator. You may not always feel like it when you look in the mirror, but you are a priceless creation of the God of the Universe. And when He sees you, He doesn't see what you see. Because you see the flaws and the failures, the secrets and the struggles. But He sees what's really there, a beautiful testament to who He is.

       I know you may be thinking that talk is cheap, and that the actions of guys around you mean so much more than the written words of a girl you may never meet. Even though I can't see you right now, I know that you're beautiful and worthy to be loved because you're one of a kind. There isn't another you in the whole world, and if you wait long enough, you'll meet someone who sees that-- in their life-- you can never be replaced. And I know waiting for your perfect man is always going to be a struggle. It breaks my heart to know that many try to fill the void by letting others tamper with their bodies and their hearts. But I want you to know that it doesn't have to be this way. If someone gave you a gift and said it was worth all the money in the world, you would guard it with your life and keep it from all harm, right? Well, you are that gift. So even if you don't believe it, even if everything in you is fighting to give it all away, guard yourself. Guard your heart. And know that you are worthy of more. With a prayer on my heart, I share this for anyone who doesn't see the true value of who they are. Because I know too many people, myself included, who spend too much time viewing themselves as less than worthy. YOU ARE MORE.
