You may not feel very attractive. You may feel beat up, broken, battered and bruised, used up and left out, withered, old, damaged, dirty, useless, and just flat out ugly... but you are beautiful.
You are one of God's masterpieces.
Don't let the sentimental qualities of that statement blind you to the factual truth and the real implications. God has been, is currently, and will be creating a beautiful work of art out of your life for the rest of your life.
It might not look like we want it to look, but just like this old beat up storage container, it's beautiful, and it's the imperfections that make it that way. It's the dents, chipped and faded paint, and rust that makes this storage container so striking (at least to me), and it's the same with you. It's the imperfections, even the wounds and scars that make you a uniquely perfect, beautiful masterpiece.
So I pray that you get a glimpse of your Abba, the creator of the universe, looking lovingly and happily at the masterpiece he is making out of you.
Peace
