Almost every person in the world - particularly in America - tries as one point or another to look like the people on the magazine covers or in the movie releases. We don't think of ourselves as beautiful enough to go out looking the way we are - always trying to alter what God as made us to be. I'm not saying that we should be condemned for washing our hair, putting makeup on, or wearing jewelry, but when people feel like they need plastic surgery just because they don't like the way they are, or when people cut their tongues or ears because they think that it looks better or because they want to look like animals, that is sin. God made you the way you are, and God made animals the way they are - there is no getting around it. Now, sometimes you may be thinking: "But I want to look like so-and-so, she is beautiful." By whose standards? Yes, she may be beautiful, but that is the work of God. Actually, some is the temporary work of man, Ever heard of airbrushing? Photoshop? What you think of as beautiful is what the world tells you is beautiful. What God thinks of as beautiful, is exactly what you are. He made all of this with His own hands His own design. Even people who are born with deformities are beautiful and even perfect. There is no such thing as imperfect looks. God is perfect. He does not make mistakes because He is perfect. If He does not make mistakes - then He made us all exactly the way He wanted us to be. Sometimes it may be something that you think is imperfect about you - your ears are too pointy or too big, your waist may be bigger than most, your eyes are not the right color, your hair won't do whatever is in. Just remember that He has made you perfect. Absolutely.
"For I am fearfully and wonderfully made."
Psalm 139
