D ESPITE WHAT THE modeling world might lead us to believe, true beauty has nothing to do with outward appearances. The more we focus on what we look like on the outside, the more insecure we become. The world has an impossibly narrow definition of beauty, and by those standards, well never be thin enough, pretty enough, or good enough.
But fortunately, thats not how God measures our worth. We have value simply because we are His children. The more we focus on getting our hearts right with the Lord and honoring Him, the more secure and confident we will become and the more we will exude true beauty. After all, outer beauty will fade away, but the godly qualities we possess will grow and become more beautiful over time!
Instead of focusing on superficial beauty, I encourage you to spend the next thirty days focusing on an inner beauty makeover. I pray that this devotional will help transform your heart, your body, your mind, and your soul and put you on the path to becoming a happier, healthier, more beautiful you.
God bless,
Kylie
MADE IN GODS IMAGE
God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
GENESIS 1:27
T HROUGH MY YEARS in the modeling industry, I learned a hard truth: your perceived worth is based on characteristics you cant control. If you have genes that predisposed you to be five feet ten and 110 pounds with long, thin legs, youre considered worthwhile. If your genes made you five feet two and muscular, you might be an ideal soccer player and a fantastic human being but in the modeling world, youre worth nothing.
Fortunately, appearance is not the way true worth is measured. The Bible makes it clear that we have inherent value because we are made in Gods image. As humans, we are His most precious creation, and He made us like Him in special ways. He gave us minds that can seek to know Him and hearts that can love Him. He gave us creativity, compassion, and understanding. He gave us an important role in this world, and He wants to have a relationship with us.
We have worth. God Himself loves and values us. Theres nothing we can achieve or become in this life that will make God think we are more worthwhile than He does already. And if God thinks we have great value, who are we to argue with Him?
What traits do you think give someone value?
How might believing you are made in Gods image change your sense of worth?
True beauty tip: You are worthwhile to God.
WHO AM I?
God decided in advance to adopt us into is own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.
EPHESIANS 1:5, NLT
T HE WORLD ENCOURAGES us to define ourselves based on any number of external factors: what we look like, what other people think of us, how much money we earn, what kind of career we have. But God says that none of those things matter none of those things can define who we really are.
Throughout my life Ive filled various roles: daughter, sister, wife, stepmom, model, Victorias Secret Runway Angel. Some of those roles have shaped me in positive ways; others have had a harmful effect on me. Its tempting to let my identity become wrapped up in those titles or positions to start to think that they make me who I am. But no matter how good the roles are even when theyre blessings from the Lord they cant determine my true identity.
God says that our identity can come only from our position as His children. We have inherent value because He adopted us and brought us into His family. Even when all our other roles are stripped away, thats something no one can take from us. God always will be our Father, and we always will be His daughters.
What roles do you tend to let define you?
What does it mean to you that God has adopted you into His family?
True beauty tip: You have inherent value as Gods child.
FINDING YOUR WORTH
You are a people holy to the L ORD your God. Out of all the peoples on the face of the earth, the L ORD has chosen you to be his treasured possession.
DEUTERONOMY 14:2
A LL OF US SOMETIMES doubt our value because we dont measure up to the worlds standards in some way. We let other people tell us were not pretty enough, thin enough, smart enough, talented enough, or likable enough.
Whether were trying out for a sports team, auditioning for a play, or applying for a job, its easy to let our sense of worth rise or fall on the outcome. When I was cast in shows during Fashion Week, I felt good about myself. When I wasnt what a client was looking for, I felt inadequate. But the truth is, were the same whether the person on the other end of the phone says yes or no. We dont have to give others the power to determine our worth.
Our value has nothing to do with what we wear, how we look, how many friends we have, or how successful we become. We are daughters of the King, and we have great value because God says we do! As believers, we are Gods special treasures. He loves us so much that He sent Jesus to die so we could be with Him forever. When other people question your worth because you dont fit their ideals, remember that God gave up everything to bring you new life.
Where are you looking to find your worth?
What do you think it means to be Gods treasured possession?
True beauty tip: You are a daughter of the King.
PEOPLE PLEASING
Our purpose is to please God, not people. He alone examines the motives of our hearts.
1 THESSALONIANS 2:4, NLT
I TS A NATURAL HUMAN DESIRE to want to be liked, accepted, and appreciated. But if were not careful, that longing can get out of whack and pretty much take over our lives, influencing us to do things wed never do otherwise.Thats exactly what happened to me. When I was young, I loved being Daddys little girl. But as I got older and Dad and I drifted apart, I found myself desperate for attention especially male attention. By the time I was in junior high, I was posting pictures of myself on Myspace, hoping to get a bazillion comments, and by the time I was in high school, I was dressing provocatively, wanting the boys to notice me.
