The ever encompassing beauty that surrounds and lives in us

So, here I am waiting for chapel to start. I actually just ran into Pastor Steve.
I overslept through small groups last night. LAME!
I had an exam at pretty much the butt-crack of dawn today. Unlike the buttocks of humans, the morning holds a beauty that has yet to be fully discovered. There is a unique stillness the saturates the atmosphere. The sky holds a beautiful hue of a variations of colors. We are here to be in admiration of what surrounds us. There is silence. So many miss this time of the morning because we make the decision to sleep. I find myself so many times incapable of appreciating my surroundings simply because of noise. Nothing particular, just noise.
Lately, I have struggled with the idea of beauty. I feel that this is something that practically every girl in the world deals with at some point, even if many fail to admit it. (If not, you must be a man.) We find all of our imperfections. When we are complimented, we fail to always receive it because of our insecurities and doubts.
So many times, like nature, we are unappreciative of who we are and created to be simply because of noise that surrounds us. This noise includes society and perhaps our own thoughts. We have some superficial level that we feel we need to attain both physically and emotionally to remain beautiful. This is almost an epidemic.
Like the morning sky or nature itself, we take little time to discover the real beauty that is placed inside of us. We make this choice, just as sleeping through the early hours of the morning. We are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139). God does not merely just place us together. When we fail to recognize that beauty and rather, belittle ourselves, are we not doing the same to God? Our worth is beyond measure. The traits He instills in us are incomparable to that of this world.
Lately I have this passion to reach so many young girls who struggle with this same thing.
I will never be the perfect figure. I will never win a beauty pageant. I am, however, the daughter of a King. I am called to seek out the beauty He has instilled in me. I am called to be a warrior, a encourager. I am a conqueror.
I will never doubt the beauty of my creation. Like the serenity of the morning, I will seek it out.
