Pride vs. Inner Beauty

There is so much negativity going around and you do not need to be it's carriage! I started my second year of college yesterday and it is difficult for me to be confident. Over a period of time I have come to the realization that I have succumb to pride. What do I mean? Being a people-pleaser, worrying about what others think of me, etc. Fear of man is consuming and it distracts from what God is doing. God has not given us a spirit of fear! (2 Timothy 1:17) Do not bring yourself down or judge those around you. "Remember that everyone you meet is afraid of something, loves something and has lost something." ~H. Jackson Brown, Jr

Every girl should know that she is beautiful, important, smart and irreplaceable. It is my prayer that women will be able to walk in their God given destinies instead of bowing down the destructive lies of this world. Eve has been redeemed! Romans 8:2 says, "because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death." God wants to see his children healed and whole.

I know that I need to pray when ever negativity tries to sneak its way into my heart. And I know that I am on that campus to be a light to those around me. That person is going to like you for your inner light. Do not worry about making someone like you because you already are beautiful, smart and important. My prayer right now is to receive God's incredible joy in my life. Never allow the darkness of this world to distract you.
