We are fearfully and wonderfully made.

I just watched this clip about how a girl approached her dad after finding out she's pregnant. Her reason for having sex was because she felt like she wasn't pretty enough or skinny enough to be extraordinary but for one night she wanted to feel special. That got me thinking, is that why underage girls put themselves in a position where they harm themselves, body and mind, in such a way? The media tells us we're not pretty enough, we're not skinny enough and to some people (like me) we're not tall enough..no matter what we look like, we're never enough. But that's so wrong. Since when did people have the right to tell us whether we are worthy or not? Half of the people who created these "standards" barely meet them at all and yet we allow them to tell us what makes us beautiful. Psalm 139:14 says "we are fearfully and wonderfully made." God created us to be wonderful, he made us beautiful and not by the society's standards but by his standards. What people/society think of you really doesn't matter because they didn't create you. God made you amazing, he made you beautiful. And this doesn't just apply to girls out there but to guys as well. A guy doesn't have to be tall dark and buff to be outstanding nor does his worth come from the amount of girls he's been with. God made us all to be outstanding people, he created us to be amazing in our own ways. And that, is where our worth comes from.
