You look so confident baring your sun-kissed skin for all to admire. On every photo you post, you are made the subject of admiration and critique from lustful boys and jealous girls. The way you pose yourself gives brazen attention to your curves but yet there's just enough of an innocent look to be coy.
You've been told you're beautiful--but is beauty happiness?
Beautiful girl, sit down for a moment. Please, listen for a while.
I know you're tired. I know you feel alone. You're tired of proving your worth over and over and dancing and performing for people you don't even know. The popularity and applause you receive, is it worth it for beauty that is only skin deep?
Your eyes, they just look empty. You seem so strong, but I wonder if it is so. I can't help but think that you've let your dreams of a real man fade away. That breaks my heart. It doesn't have to be so. Your beauty is not in the external that will one day wrinkle and your perfect hair that will one day gray. Your worth so much more than the glory of your twenty year old body and the parties and clubs.
I know. You long to have your soul loved. I do too. It's that gnawing feeling that something just isn't quite right when we are faced with those moments of silence. I see you try to crowd your time with noise and people and media and anything but that feeling of loneliness. Because something, something just isn't right.
You were made for so much more. There is a lover of your soul. A Lover that will heal your heart and keep it from leaking the affection and love you desire. He's been drawing you to Himself over the years, subtly whispering that only He can satisfy your weary heart.
Dear Beautiful Girl, this Lover came to save you from the enslavement of this world and yourself. He came to die to set you free. You don't have to live for this world anymore. You can have peace. You can know the Lover of your soul, Jesus Christ. You can know the peace that passes all understanding. You can know God, the One who created you and the one who died for you. The One who will fill your heart with song and joy even in uncertainty.
Beautiful Girl, please linger for a moment more. What Christ gives cannot be replicated. He quenches the thirst for acceptance and healing. He can only fill that ache in your heart. Come as you are. He knows all about you--the hurts, the mistakes, the joys, and the victories. He wants to exchange all of that for a life that thrives--a life that is about knowing Him and sharing Him.
Matthew 11: 28 "Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest."
