This weekend, Tomara continued our series on the Body, focusing on shame and insecurity. Lindsay McKenzie joined her with a powerful message, speaking to moms, daughters, and young girls navigating the pressures of a beauty-driven world—while reminding all of us of a truth we need to hear: you are beautiful because you were created in the image of a beautiful God.

The world is going to tell you who you need to be and what you need to look like. But the world got beauty wrong.

You are beautiful because…

You are God’s workmanship–created in Christ Jesus for good works.

You lack nothing according to the riches of His glory.

You are fearfully and wonderfully made.

You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession.

You are clothed with strength and dignity.

You are an overwhelming conqueror through Him who loves you.

You have a spirit of power and love and discipline not timidity.

You are able to discern God’s will.

You are more valuable than the sparrows.

You are searched and known.

You are transformed into His image with ever-increasing glory.

You’ve been planted by the Lord for the display of His splendor.

You are alive in Christ and saved by His grace.

You are delighted in and sung over by your God.

You are Adopted, Established, Chosen, Invited, Beloved, Forgiven, Treasured, Redeemed.

You are beautiful because You were created in the image of a beautiful God. May this be the voice we hear louder than the world—and the one we pass on to our daughters.
