More Beautiful You

by: Jonny Diaz



"Little girl fourteen flipping through a magazine
Says she wants to look that way
But her hair isn’t straight her body isn’t fake
And she’s always felt overweight

Well little girl fourteen I wish that you could see
That beauty is within your heart
And you were made with such care your skin your body and your hair
Are perfect just the way they are

There could never be a more beautiful you
Don’t buy the lies disguises and hoops they make you jump through
You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do
So there could never be a more beautiful you

Little girl twenty-one the things that you’ve already done
Anything to get ahead
And you say you’ve got a man but he’s got another plan
Only wants what you will do instead

Well little girl twenty-one you never thought that this would come
You starve yourself to play the part
But I can promise you there’s a man whose love is true
And he’ll treat you like the jewel you are

So turn around you’re not too far
To back away be who you are
To change your path go another way
It’s not too late you can be saved
If you feel depressed with past regrets
The shameful nights hope to forget
Can disappear they can all be washed away
By the one who’s strong can right your wrongs
Can rid your fears dry all your tears
And change the way you look at this big world
He will take your dark distorted view
And with His light He will show you truth
And again you’ll see through the eyes of a little girl"





I heard this song on the radio, this morning, on my way into work... and it caught me off guard a little. So true, and about a few things that most people ignore, whether it be because it's talked about too much (self-esteem) and we all think 'not me... I'm fine with me!' or because it's too uncomfortable to talk about 'no one actually starves themselves anymore. that's not realistic'.

Both are WAY wrong.

We all have days where we feel small or not put together. We all have times where we think we should probably skip the pasta and only eat a salad, instead. And where that's not wrong in itself, our reasons behind it usually are. So you may not go to these extremes, but it doesn't mean you're not affected by the very SAME thoughts that drive those who do.

Unfortunately, there are little girls who already think they're fat at WAY too young an age (as if there's any age that isn't too young to think that...) and there are girls who do still starve themselves, though you wouldn't necessarily know it by looking at them.


I've talked about this issue on here before, but it's one that is close to my heart for various reasons - I've had friends who've deeply struggled with these issues, and I've struggled with self-esteem for most of my life. Still do, in fact!

So I guess I'm just saying all of this to say: You're the most beautiful version of yourself today. But maybe you could make it a little better by remembering just that... because the ONE thing that truly makes a woman beautiful is when she feels it... when she feels like she's beautiful.

There's an extra hitch in her giddy-up or perk in her eye. You can just sense a bigger beauty about her. And that's what you need to remember, today...




... I'm just sayin ...

My Beloved

You're My Beloved, You're My Bride
To sing over you is My delight
Come away with Me, My love

You're Beautiful to Me
So beautiful to Me

Under My mercy Come and wait
Till we are standing face to face
I see no stain on you, My child

You're Beautiful to Me
So Beautiful to Me

I sing over you My song of peace
Cast all your care down at My feet
Come and find your rest in Me

I'll breathe My life inside of you
I'll bear you up on eagle's wings
And hide you in the shadow of My strength

I'll take you to My quiet waters
I'll restore your soul
Come rest in Me and be made whole

You're My beloved, You're My Bride
To sing over you is my delight
Come away with me my love

You're Not Alone

a song by Meredith Andrews

I search for love

When the night came and it closed in

I was alone

But you found me where I was hiding

And though I'll never ever be the same

It was the sweetest voice that called my name

Singin' -

You're not alone for I am here

Let me wipe away every fear

My love I've never left your side

I have seen you through the darkest night

And I'm the one that's loved you all your life

All of your life

You cry yourself to sleep

Cause the hurt is real and the pain cuts deep

All hope seems lost

With heartache your closest friend and everyone else long gone

You've had to face the music on your own

But there is a sweeter song that calls you home

Sayin' -

You're not alone for I am here

Let me wipe away your every tear

My love I've never left your side

I have seen you through the darkest nights

And I'm the one that's loved you all your life
All your life

Faithful and true... Forever
For my love will carry you....

You're not alone for I... I am here

Let me wipe away every fear... Oh yeah

My love I've never left your side

I have seen you through your darkest nights... Your darkest nights

And I'm the one that's loved you all your life
All of your life

Just something to think about. Love y'all!
