This One Is For the Girls.

Tell her something true when all she’s known are lies. Tell her God loves her. Tell her about forgiveness. Tell her about the possibility of freedom. Tell her she was made to dance in white dresses. All these things are true.

To Every Woman --

There is a world out there that wants us to believe we are not enough, that we will never be enough: Lose weight. Dye your hair. Wear these clothes. Have a boyfriend. Be sexy. Put out. Fit in, but be unique. Be confident. Be enough. Be wanted. Read Cosmo, because obviously articles like Double Your Hotness and 10 Romantic Moves That Guys Actually Dig will provide you with the tools to finding to significance, to finding love, to becoming the "real you." Believe lies. Settle for less. Don't be an individual, be like everyone else. Take what you can get. There is a world out there that wants to diminish who you were born to be. There is a world out there threatening to steal your heart. Wake up. Pay attention.

Don't you know you're beautiful? You are enough; you have always been enough. Your clothes do not define you. The way you look does not qualify or disqualify you for love. Confidence is not dependant upon how others see you but how you see yourself. Not everyone is going to want you. Not everyone is going to accept you for who you are. But guess what? Those people don't matter. Because if they can't see the beautiful woman that you are - inside and out - then they're not worth your time. Be who you are. Be proud of who you are. Be beautiful -- the way you always have been. Believe it.

Don't you know you deserve respect? Realize what you're worth. Realize that that is the absolute best. Stop believing the lies. Sex can't fulfill you. Physical affection will not sustain you. Temporary satisfaction will not complete you. It's a fact that everyone needs affection and most all desire to be loved, but don't settle for less. If you want more than sex, wait for it. Be patient. If you don't want to be used, don't be. You have the power. You deserve more. You are a treasure -- allow yourself to be treated like one. Know that you are worth a commitment. If he can't give you that, stop believing it's enough. Demand more. You were made to find it. You were made to be treated like a princess. Disney fairytales may not exist, but that doesn't mean a real man doesn't. A man who will respect you, who will love you, who will want to spend the rest of his life with you. Believe you deserve more.

It's time for the truth. It's time to stop conforming and start living as the woman you were created to be. You were made with a purpose. Stop being afraid. Don't let your past define who you are. Today is a new day -- go after what you want. Believe in yourself. Be happy with who you are. And, if you're not happy, do something about it. Make a change. Let God help you make that change. Above all, listen to His truth, for He says that you were fearfully and wonderfully made. He says that you're beautiful, that you are enough. He will give you all the affection you will ever need. He will fulfill you with patience, with hope, with direction. He has wanted you from the moment you were created, and He will always want you - today, tomorrow, forever.

Don't you know you're loved? Dance in the freedom of God's grace. Bask in the glory of His promise. Drown in the ocean of His love. There could never be a more beautiful you. Stop listening to the world. Stop conforming to lies. Stop believing you need to do more. Stop searching. Stop pretending you're okay. Stop settling for less. Start demanding more. Believe in the Truth, and He shall set you free.

God loves you. I love you. Start loving yourself.
