Hi Tessa, we wil pray that you will be able to see yourself as God does because precious, it's that Truth that heals.
Tessa, at best men's perception are limited. You don't want to base your perception on someone else's opinion, that's way too much power to give to man. You need to study God's Word and find out what He says about you, what He has for you. And you must hear these Words being said to "you". That's why it's so important to go to church and bible study where you would learn how to rightly discern God's Word. You will begin to "hear" His Voice as you read His Word guiding you, healing you and filling you with power as you come to understand the awesome knowledge of His great love for you.
Miss Tessa Rogers, you are loved by ABBA Father God. He loves you so much; look, He sent His Son in your behalf. That dear Tessa is Truth. And now, even as you read this, His eyes are beholding you and as you go about your day and when you sleep, His love is over your like like a banner. That's the Truth Tessa, grow in the knowledge of It and watch how your perception changes.
Do me a favor and look up chosen, beloved, love, predestination, destiny, foreknowledge and put your name there in those defintions. Your God, Tessa knew you before anybody else (Psalm 139, Jeremiah 1). Learn of Him and learn to see yourself through His eyes.
Be blessed Tessa and please keep writing, we want to hear from you okay!
Oh yeah, one more thing, Shelley has a great book that will help you in your quest to "see" your true beauty. I encourage you precious to get it to read during your personal bible study.
