1 Timothy 4:12--Do not let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.

The Worry of Looks
Your alarm rings, you put the snooze on and ten minutes later you are rushing to throw on the cutest outfit that you have. You then turn to the clock and gasp. You have only twenty minutes to eat breakfast, hunt for your book bag, and lather yourself with your Mary Kay makeup. Does this sound familiar to you? Well, if you are a girl, it really should. Girls are aways worrying about looks and from what I have heard guys do too. We always want to look our best and have people say "Wow you look amazing!" Doesn't everyone? Did you know that out of a hundred teenagers between the ages of thirteen and seventeen there are one to two teens that have an eating disorder? That is a lot, when there are 25 to 28 million teenagers. We girls are always trying to have the cutest clothes and the hottest makeup if that's true, why? God made your face with such care, and God never makes mistakes, so he made your face just like it is. Why do you want to cover yourself with makeup? You won't be able to see the real you. You're hiding behind a product that just makes you look like you are too embarrassed to show your real face and He doesn't want you to cover his beautiful creation with a man made product that just wastes your time and money. God made your face too pretty to hide behind makeup. I am not saying that makeup is bad. It is just when you cover your whole face with it, some lipstick or eye liner is not bad. So what do you say, do you agree with? Come on girls, lets stop worrying about the way we look, being modest and having matching clothes is one thing, but worrying if you look awful is another.

Right on, sister! You are fearfully and wonderfully made and you don't need too much make-up to be beautiful, true beauty is from the inside.
