Black Beauty

This is specifically for black women and little girls. You have nothing to be sorry about, nothing to hate yourself about. There is nothing that you have done wrong. Your beauty if mysterious, your passion is raw and explosive, your strength is from the Lord. You are misunderstood, misrepresented, unappreciated for the treasure that you are. God didn’t make a mistake; He made a masterpiece. He didn’t just make a woman; He made a Beautiful woman. He didn’t just make a girl; He made royalty.
There is no need to compare yourself to other masterpieces; recognize and celebrate the masterpiece that God has made you to be. Embrace your personality, because it is strong and bright. Embrace your hair, for it is your glory. Rejoice in your skin color, whether light or dark for it is the radiance of God’s face shining on you. Love and glorify God with your bodies, for it is His home and holy temple.
No more will the pressure of false beauty be placed on you. No more will the treasure of who you are be buried in lies and insecurities. As you take hold of the treasure God has made in you and walk out the way He see’s you, others will have no choice but to praise God for the Black Beauty that you are; the amazing treasure, joy and strength that you exemplify.
