Do you know that you are beautiful?
You are.
You were knitted together in your mother’s womb by His Almighty Hands.
His workmanship is wonderful. His love, unending.
You were made on purpose, for a purpose.
Each delicate thread so carefully created and woven together within you~
Is a miraculous masterpiece.
You.
Yes, YOU.
All of who you are…
Even the hard parts, the soft parts, the broken parts, the weak parts~
Every talent, every gift, every trait~
God designed especially…
For you.
Do you know that?
Every piece and part of who you are.
Is beautiful.
Your smile is like no other.
Your laughter, your eyes, your presence.
Your thoughts. Your dreams. Your fears.
All uniquely yours.
Your pain. Your story. Your battle. Your strength.
All beautiful.
Your tears. Your scars. Your soul.
Beautiful.
In the quiet moments when you weep.
In the silent night when you are alone.
Wondering. Wishing. Wavering.
He sees you.
Your ways. Your secrets. Your doubts.
All your thoughts are precious to Him.
He knows you.
He made you.
Beautiful you.
Every day has been ordained by Him.
He sets your path.
He knows your plan.
You matter most to Him.
You have His power.
You hold His light.
You are His beloved gift to the world.
Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful you.
Reach in deep.
Embrace who you are.
The God of Creation
Loves you.
His Workmanship is wonderful.
In you.
Psalm 139:14
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
Absolutely loved this and what a wonderful reminder what we are all positively capable of, Chris 😉
YES we are Janine!! Each and every one of us is loved and adored by our Creator!! We are here for a glorious purpose and God wants us to truly understand that. Isn’t that amazing? Blows me away. <3
I just adore the phrase “knitted together.” Such a beautiful reminder of HIs handiwork in our own journey of creation.
I do too, Sarah!! Knitted together reminds me that each and every thread of who we are was carefully sewn into us by our loving Creator. WOW.
I love this! What a nice post to read to start the week. I’ve been slacking on the voices for compassion posts, but I will get back into it. I’m sort of in the middle of a reset right now. 🙂 You are beautiful, my friend! xo
Reset is sooo understandable Jennifer!! I’m so proud of all you have accomplished this year! You pace yourself with all that you have going on, and know I am just thrilled about your success in all your writing opportunities!! Oh, and yeah—–>>> YOU are so beautiful. <3
What a beautiful reminder! xo
Oh Shell, I’m just SO glad you came by to soak it in my friend!! Oh, how much I believe God wants us to truly understand this. <3 YOU are beautiful, Shell. So very beautiful. Always remember that, okay?
First thing I read this morning, and it will shape my whole day. Thank you for the reminder that we all have purposes here.
Oh Jessa, I am just SO glad these truths soaked your heart with God’s adoration and passionate love for YOU!! This reminder is something I believe we all need more often to start our day… yes? <3
Beautiful reminder!
Thank you Sarah!! I’m so glad you came by to read this! YOU are truly beautiful… God adores YOU. Yes. You. <3
JUST what I needed to read this on this Monday morning! Thank you for starting my week off with a perfect, nurturing start.
Kelly, I’m SO glad you read this!! I hope you remember how loved you are, exactly where you are and exactly who you are!! God truly knows your heart… and adores you. <3 YOU my friend, are absolutely beautiful.
Thank you for this. In a time of doubt and eternal questions, it’s soothing.
It is such a comfort, isn’t it Stephanie? I shared it because I too, needed this nourishment!! I’m so glad you soaked it in… <3
I really enjoyed this, thanks! 🙂
Thanks for stopping by to soak it in, Shelah. <3
Loved reading this. Right now this is a message I needed to receive. Thank you for being the messenger.
It is an incredible honor to send God’s personal love and adoration to YOU, my friend. I just knew I needed to share it- now I know why. <3 Oh, how God has His eyes on you. Keep reminding yourself of these truths!
Just so beautiful. Just so what I needed. Thank you!
I’m so glad you came by to be reminded of this truth, Gina! I needed it too… <3
What a great reminder and this is JUST what I needed to read on this Monday!
OH Clare, I’m SO glad you came by to soak it in my friend!! Remember this always. <3
Trying to embrace it. Trying. Trying. Thank you for the encouragement.
Oh sweetie, I know how hard it can be! Keep trying… crack yourself open and let His Love pour over you… <3
I love your spirituality. I am not as committed as you, yet I always feel comforted after I hear (read) your words….thank you!
I understand my friend… Just take it in, and I do pray you may begin to feel God’s Presence and Love deep within… He adores you no matter how committed you are~ always. <3
Did you know YOU’RE beautiful? And totally awesome. I’m trying. Getting close these days. Less demons. Or maybe just as many but they’re weaker. Or I’m stronger. I don’t know!
GOOD T!! I love how you put that… less demons, maybe they ARE weaker, because you my friend… keep growing stronger and STRONGER!!! Your light triumphs. I see it shine. <3
**You have power.
You hold light.
You are the only you**

Lovely. True. Beautiful “YOU”)) Xxxxx
Kim, my beloved… YOU are absolutely beautiful.
Beautiful.
So beautiful.
Beautiful…beautiful…beautiful you.
This is awesome Chris. Beautiful. Powerful. Wise words. I need these words, today and tomorrow. They are wonderful. Be blessed for sharing them.
Oh Marie! I’m so glad you soaked them into the depths of your heart, my friend! I pray they continue to bless you. I need these words each and every day too… <3
Simply beautiful! You are amazing.
Allie, you my friend are beautiful. Soak this in… it’s a reminder of why. <3
This is beautiful. Definitely needed to read this. Thank you.
Thanks so much Elizabeth! I’m so glad you read it. I needed this reminder too. <3
I always know I’ll find the perfect encouragement here, Chris. As I’ve been aging rather quickly these past few years in my face and body, I’m needing a new definition of beautiful. Thank you so much for this reminder of what that word really means! You and your words are so appreciated, my friend!
Oh Candace… THIS is and forever shall be your definition of beautiful! I need to remind myself of these reasons why often, and oh what a comfort it is to be soaked in this truth! YOU are beautiful. <3
Thank you – this was such a nice thing to read!! I just had a no-show and am dreading my upcoming event so this was great timing!!
Kim… I truly hope you take this to your heart and soak it in thoroughly!! YOU are precious to God. Don’t ever forget that, sweetie!! <3
Your posts always evoke such emotion in me. This is just what I needed to hear. For so long, I pulled away from God. I never stopped believing but I became cynical and distant from Him. It’s been only in the last uear that I have been finding my way back, little by little. This is such an important reminder. It’s been only in the last couple of months that I started remembering that I am a child of God; that He made me. Thanks for this soulful, blessed dose of nurturing, Chris.
Oh sweet friend… I am SO glad this nourished you! Consider it a love note from God to your heart. I am praying for you to find many of them as you lean in closer to Him. <3
So beautiful and for some reason, this reminded me of a book my son and I recently read. He liked it so much that he asked me to read it. It’s about a girl with Cerebral Palsy who can’t walk or talk, but who’s really smart. She struggles with some bullying and feeling worthy and beautiful. It’s called, “out of my mind.” The message at the end of the book is exactly what your words today said.
Oh wow, Emily! I need to go look that book up! Thank you for telling me about it. It sounds incredibly powerful. <3
So incredibly beautiful – I now say…I AM love…because he is within me!
I love that Kristen! Yes. <3
Lovely! Embracing the light and power and love and beauty is harder on some days than others. This is a wonderful reminder of all the reasons to say, ‘yes!’ to the beauty God created in me. Thank you.
YES Bonny!! We all need these reminders… Lord knows I do. I’m so glad you can be reminding through this too, my friend. <3
What a beautiful reminder…..thank you for this
I’m so glad you read it, Kerri. Soak it in, my friend. It’s TRUE. <3
