From movies, music videos, magazines, and television, media is bombarding children with images they deem perfect. Children in turn are believing these deceptions and comparing themselves to them. They do not know of the surgeries, constant unhealthy diets, and even photo touch ups used to make these "superstars" look unblemished.
While studying this topic for Missionettes, I found these scriptures to try and combat the attack of these lies. Some are celebrating our differences and remind us of who created us.
So God created humans in His image. In the image of God He created them, male and female. (Gen. 1:27)
Each person has a special gift from God and these gifts vary from person to person. (1 Cor. 7:7)
You are
Light for the world. (Matt. 5:14)
Beauty doesn't come
From hairstyles, gold jewelry, or clothes. Rather, beauty is something internal that can't be destroyed. (1 Pet. 3:3-4)
I will give thanks to You because I have been amazingly and miraculously made. (Ps. 139:14)
God has
Made us what we are. He has created us in Christ Jesus to live lives filled with good works that he has prepared for us to do. (Eph. 2:10)
Do not be
Afraid,... I have called you by name and you are mine. (Is. 43:1)
God saw everything He had made and that is was good. (Gen. 1:31)
Even one star differs in splendor from another star. (1 Cor. 15:41b)
The Children's Ministry team at Radford Worship Center has agreed to help encourage our young ladies in this area by hosting a "SPA Day" for school age girls, kindergarten to sixth grade. We have not set a date other than after school is out for the summer. If there are any women that can style hair? Wash feet? Paint fingernails? Fix salads? How about lead aerobics? Encourage these young ladies? Read the Bible? Pray? Or maybe you have a special talent not mentioned that you want to share? Please contact Susie Hickman or Pastor Tina Blackburn.
