People Just Seem To Want To Talk To Pretty People
Anonymous comments on ‘What Do You See When You Look In The Mirror’
I know that beauty is sooo much more important on the inside then out,and if you were around me you would almost never hear me talking about what I look like or what I think other people think I look like. But sometimes I just see really pretty people who have a lot of friends. It’s not that I want to be popular, but people just seem to want to talk to pretty people, even if those people aren’t nice. I want to be able to tell people about Jesus but they have to talk to me first, or at least not look annoyed when I go talk to them.
Oh,and by the way, I don’t think size 0- 4 people are pretty. I think people with a little meat are really beautiful, but no one else seems to. And my dad is always like, “So your not on your diet anymore?” When I’m eating like spaghetti or something. Ughh!

Why are really pretty people who aren’t necessarily so nice surrounded by many friends? Well, the principle you mentioned about beauty being so much more important in our character or on the inside is true (1 Tim 4:8) but we live in a world where Hollywood dictates the definition of beauty for the majority of the people but it won’t be forever.(1 Jn 2:16-17)
We need to always realize that God as Creator is the only one who has the true definition of anything including beauty. The world cares more about living in the moment and looking their best. The emotions of those around them and how they could be feeling is last on their mind.(Jn 17:17,Pv 31:10-31)
We agree with you that beauty doesn’t have to come in a size 0 to 4. The real goal of our physical body should be to be healthy so we can be productive specially for the LORD to use us. Don’t cave in to thinking that you are alone in this battle. Many other girls go through the same thing.
I am certainly on your side. I feel a bit sad that your dad may be acting a bit carelessly with comments about your diet. Please draw near to God who is your only perfect heavenly Father (Heb 13:5-6). He will know how to comfort you in times of need. He will know how to help you gain self control in every area of your life so you can determine what a healthy diet would be for you to keep. I am sure you are gorgeous in God’s eyes and ultimately HE is the only one who really matters.
With regards to sharing your faith…I must say this is hardly ever an easy thing to do (Mt 5:11-12). However, we must do it out of obedience to our God(Mt 28:19. Alot of people won’t welcome what we might have to say about Jesus, but I can guarantee you that if you let the Holy Spirit lead your conversation you will sense when He is opening a door (Rom 8:14-15). Our responsibility is to live the Gospel out loud and when HE guides us to say a word, we need to go for it in His power.
In HIM,
