“In the end, beauty isn’t measured by physical features but by our likeness to the One in whose image we’re created. So do we measure ourselves against others, then manipulate our beauty to form our own image? Or do we see ourselves as God sees us and allow him to mold us into his likeness? God wants to make us ‘good’ in the Genesis 1 sense of the word. Not a goody-two-shoes, afraid-to-do-anything-wrong sort of good. A beautiful, magnificent good that’s terrible in its splendor.” — Sarah Christmyer
