If she poses the same way in every picture because she likes that angle of her body the best. Let her do it.
We live in a society where it’s hard to feel good enough. Yet I see women every day posting negative statuses like “stop using Snapchat filters to make your eyes look bigger, stop using the smooth tool, stop taking gym selfies….we get it.”
Why would you ever want her to stop doing something that makes her feel good?
Why does it matter to you?
If it makes her feel pretty…..even for a split second if it makes her feel good about herself…..
Let her do it.
Let’s focus more on building each other up, showing grace & kindness. Focus more on being pretty on the inside & that will be the kind of pretty that doesn’t wash off. #fixhercrown#bekind#showgrace#lovewins“
Ladies, call me convicted. What’s it to me if someone wants to only post pictures of themselves on Instagram when they feel pretty? Seriously, why does it matter to me? Perhaps I’ve been worshiping the god of “being real “and “authenticity” rather than the One who created all these varying levels of beautiful. When Jamie Renee says “be the kind of pretty that doesn’t wash off,” it resonates deep within my soul. Sure, I can rock a #NoFilter if I want to, but it means nothing if I’m not pretty on the inside.
The truth is, we do live in a constant culture of comparison, and it’s just another type of spiritual warfare. We need to put on the full armor of God before we open that Instagram app, whether it’s to take a picture of ourselves or to look and see what everyone else is up to. I know Jamie Renee didn’t say anything about Jesus and her post, but I’m thankful that the Holy Spirit spoke to me as I read her words, and reminded me that I need to get into God’s Word and look at life, Facebook, and Instagram through the lens of the Scriptures.
I do want to be the kind of pretty that doesn’t wash off. And I know there’s only One Way for me to accomplish that. If you want to know more about it, I’d love to tell you.
