What is it to be beautiful?

I know a lot of women feel the same way and wonder the same things. What is it to be beautiful? How do we, as women, come to feel that we are beautiful? Is it by compliments we receive? Is it how we do our hair or make-up? Is it the way we dress? Why is it, that society has come to create this false image on what "beautiful" is in a woman?
I am going to be completely honest here. Everyday, I look in the mirror, and I find things with myself that I am not happy with. I look at the fat around my hips, my handle bars, my thighs, my arms, my boobs... There is always something I can find wrong. And why is that? Why can't I just be happy with the way I look? Why can't I just feel beautiful? There is an answer, but not many know where to look. I do. Why can't we all just look towards God? After all, God IS Beauty. HE is everything. He is all we need to feel like the beautiful women we are.
We shouldn't be looking on TV, and in magazines. All that stuff is is false reality. Everyone thinks that movie stars and models are the image of a perfect woman. They are not. They have their flaws, just like any of us.
So instead of looking for that false reality that we call a beautiful woman, look towards true beauty. Look towards the Lord. He is all any woman really needs. Next time you feel like you are ugly or all alone, and imperfect, think. Think about who created you, and how perfect He is.
