Therefore, as God\u2019s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. <\/em>(Colossians 3:12, NIV)<\/p>\n

While researching for a book assignment about leadership, I spent several hours studying the life of Eleanor Roosevelt. Sure, I knew a bit about her from a history class in high school, but I had no idea just how amazing she was or how much her words would impact me.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no wonder Eleanor Roosevelt has been called the most revered woman of her generation. She made a difference every place she ever dwelled. She not only gave birth to six children, but also served as a dynamic political helpmate to her husband Franklin Delano Roosevelt.<\/p>\n

Eleanor Roosevelt literally transformed the role of First Lady, holding press conferences, traveling to all parts of the country, giving lectures and radio broadcasts and expressing her opinions in a daily syndicated newspaper column called, \u201cMy Day.\u201d You might say, she was a spitfire, a woman on a mission, a servant to mankind, a loving wife and mother, and a role model for all women. <\/p>\n

Knowing of her accomplishments, it was very interesting to discover Mrs. Roosevelt was a very shy, very plain and very awkward child. It wasn\u2019t until she began attending a distinguished school in England that she developed self-confidence, realizing that her inner beauty and fortitude would make a way for her.<\/p>\n

During that self-discovery phase, she wrote these words of wisdom: \u201c…no matter how plain a woman may be if truth & loyalty are stamped upon her face, all will be attracted to her….\u201d<\/p>\n

If only we all understood that truth and actually believed it.<\/p>\n

For years, society has told us that if we\u2019re not beautiful\u2013like the cover girls on magazines\u2013then we will not be successful<\/a>, and that we\u2019ll never truly have a place in this world. Many women feel they don\u2019t fit in simply because they don\u2019t fit into a size 6 suit. Many of us have bought the lie, and some are still buying that lie.<\/p>\n

In fact, just this week I noticed a new trend on Facebook called \u201cThe Beautiful Woman Challenge,\u201d where someone challenges a friend to post five pictures that make her feel<\/em> beautiful. Seems like an easy task, yet I\u2019ve read comments from some who refuse to accept the challenge, such as one that absolutely broke my heart.<\/p>\n

The woman wrote: \u201cSorry, I will not be participating in this challenge because I don\u2019t feel beautiful in any photo.\u201d Instead of posting a picture of herself on her wedding day, or when she was pregnant with her daughter, or at a family reunion surrounded by all of her loved ones, she chose to boycott the challenge because of \u201ca lack of beauty.\u201d<\/p>\n

I so wanted to reach out to her and say, \u201cYou are beautiful. You are exactly who God created you to be. You are a wonderful wife and mother. You make a difference in your corner of the world.\u201d I pray<\/a> that maybe she\u2019ll read this blog.<\/p>\n

Ladies, it\u2019s time we realize our worth, knowing that it\u2019s not determined by a number on the bathroom scales or the amount of \u201clikes\u201d we receive on our new profile picture.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time we focus on our assets and not our flaws. And, like Eleanor Roosevelt, it\u2019s time we celebrate who we are, overcome our lack of confidence, and change our world. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s not what\u2019s on the outside that makes us worthy, lovely and attractive. That kind of beauty is fleeting. It\u2019s that loyalty, truth, and love on the inside that draws people to us. In other words, it\u2019s the Jesus in us that makes us irresistible.<\/p>\n

And, when we finally get to a place where we believe that we matter, that we\u2019re valuable, that we\u2019re beautiful in our own way, then we will be able to fulfill our divine destinies.<\/p>\n

So, if you\u2019re feeling plain, unworthy, unattractive and unnoticed\u2013give yourself a makeover from the inside out. Ask God, the master makeover artist, to develop the fruits of the spirit within you, so that you might become so lovely on the inside that it spills out onto everyone you encounter.<\/p>\n

Pretty soon, you\u2019ll be confident and irresistible. And, like Eleanor Roosevelt, you\u2019ll make a difference every place you go!<\/p>\n

I leave you with this challenge. At least once every day, look at yourself in the mirror and boldly say, \u201cYou are beautiful. Girl, you glow from the inside out, and you are going to accomplish big things for God.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
