Psalm 61:2

"Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;

There are a lot of women who battle insecurities everyday, this is because of the superficial concept of beauty standardized by the world.

We are often judged by the color of our skin, the flawlessness of our face, the type of clothes and shoes we wear, the measure of our weight, and the list goes on.

But God said in this verse, that everything we see in the outward appearance is deceiving and temporary. Which is very true, because when we get older our bodies change, beauty isn't forever.

However, our inner beauty, our character as a Godly woman will forever be etched in people's heart. This will never fade away.

I know it is hard to battle discontentment in a world full of lies. I, for one, have been bullied because of my skin color when I was younger. In the Philippines, if you have dark skin tone, you are considered unattractive. (I guess this also applies for other Asian countries.)

I struggled a lot, but with the help of the Lord, I was able to overcome my low self-esteem and insecurities. I praise and thank the Lord for a wonderful mother who was always there to remind me what real beauty is.

So to all the girls and ladies out there, remember to root your identity in Christ, and do not be fooled by the enemy's false accusations that you are not beautiful enough.

Whenever you're in doubt, fix your eyes on Jesus.

God bless you!

The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
There is no commandment greater than these.”

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.

Romans 12:9

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

John 15:13

Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

Romans 13:10

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease;

where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

So if you are stuck in a hard situation, just relax and call unto Him for help. He will surely rescue you.

God bless!

"When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.

In God, whose word I praise—

in God I trust and am not afraid.

What can mere mortals do to me?"

Do not be afraid.

"the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah. If you do not stand firm in your faith, then you will not stand at all."

Nor shall the flame scorch you."

The Lord on high is mightier

Than the noise of many waters,

Than the mighty waves of the sea.

He is greater than all your problems in life.

He will calm all storms.

God bless you!

God will test you because He wants you to mature. He wants you to develop a walk with Him that is not based on your fluctuating emotions, but on your commitment to Him as you learn to walk by faith.
