Personally I have struggled with my self image all my life. I remember kids in school who made fun of me and for some odd reason, I still see myself that way. The shame of it all -is that – while I was pretty – I didn’t see it. Now at 60 years old, overweight and somewhat wrinkled I still struggle with that image. The Bible says in Isaiah, that there is no comeliness or no good looks in Him that we should desire him or enjoy looking at Him. It also says that His features was so marred that he was unrecognisable. Since Jesus is my example, should I be consumed by appearances?
Women particularly struggle with this problem. We are taught to look our best to catch a husband. We are taught to wear lip stick, make up and perm our hair. Then we compare our selves among ourselves until we are all either very proud or our self image is destroyed! Plastic surgeons and hairdressers make a killing on our lack of self esteem… We pay a doctor to cut and rearrange our faces to fir someone else’s idea of beauty. The girly magazines portray these slim permed, made up models to sell everything from coats to underwear and we are left feeling like so much less because we don’t fall into that category.
Distorted Image deals with the journey to a new vision of beauty! It teaches Gods idea of the most beautiful woman. Gods beauty secrets……
Stay tuned – more to come
