What is Beauty?

What is beauty? Where should we find our definition of how to look, what to wear, what size we should be? There are so many definitions, it can get so confusing and so hurtful when you can't seem to measure up to any of them.

This article is amazing, I found it while browsing the Brio Mag site. I just had to post it on here because it is so true! The way our culture is telling us what to do to be "beautiful", it is crazy! Paint and cake your face? Slice and dice your body? Burn your skin to a crisp? Starve yourself? What? What in the world happened to the beauty of a true daughter of the Lord. The beauty of a quiet ad gentle spirit. The amazing style of a girl set in her faith, following the king, running with her head on straight, not being twisted and conformed into the worlds standards. The beauty of a maiden of Christ. Sounds so majestic...maiden. We are maidens and that is what God intended for us to be. I think he cries, when he sees his daughters struggling to become beautiful in a world that will never let them rest, will always keep raising the standards. His standard is set, he will never change with the seasons. That is amazing!!

Here is the link, please, please read it. :) It is so worth your time.
