Does God Think I Am Beautiful?

How do you feel about saying:
"I am beautiful."

Does it feel good?
Does it feel arrogant?
Are you willing to know that you are beautiful?

Would you believe God if you had a sense that He/She was communicating your beauty to you?



Spiritual Poem

The inspirational poem below conveys much of what I see as the key message of the book A Course In Miracles (ACIM).

Over and over again, ACIM emphasises our innocence and our right relationship with God.

The poem recounts that I cry as God tells me I am beautiful. I really did cry as I wrote the poem!

You Are Beautiful

The following spiritual prose poem is available to buy as a poster.
See below.

God says, ‘You are beautiful.’
I say, ‘No I’m not.’

God says, ‘Do you think I am a liar?’
I say, ‘Of course not, You are God. You do not lie.’

God says, ‘Do you think I am mistaken?’
I say, ‘Of course not, You are God. You do not make mistakes.’

God says, ‘Do you think you know yourself better than I know you?’
I say, ‘Of course not, You are God.
You know me better than I know myself.’

God says, ‘Do you think I created something ugly when I created you?’
I say, ‘Of course not, You are God.
You create, and You see it is good.’

God says, ‘Do you think you are more powerful than me? Perhaps I create you beautiful, but you change yourself?’
I say, ‘Of course not, You are God.
How can I change the essence You give me?’

God says, ‘When you look at it, what you think about me is insulting.
You think I am a liar, or mistaken, or don’t know you well, or create something ugly, or that I’m less powerful than you.’
I say, ‘I’ve never looked at it that way.’

God says, ‘Do you listen to other people more than you listen to me?’
I say, feeling ashamed, ‘Yes God. But I thought they were talking for You.’
God looks sad that His people do not always speak His words.

God says, ‘You are beautiful.’
I say… but I don’t know what to say. My head, full of contradictory information, feels like it will burst.
What God tells me goes against what I have learned.
I don’t want to know everything I’ve learned is wrong.

I reply, saying,
‘Yes God, I am beautiful.’
I am crying, I am confused, I feel God will punish me for my pride.
Yet it is God who pushes me to see this as the truth.

God holds me in His love and lets me cry.
‘Thank you,’ He says. ‘Thank you for listening.’

“Your value is in God's Mind, and therefore not in yours alone.
To accept yourself as God created you cannot be arrogance, because it is the denial of arrogance.
To accept your littleness <is> arrogant, because it means that you believe your evaluation of yourself is truer than God's.” (T-9.VIII.10)

God says you are beautiful. This article helps you to hear him.

Let us be willing to say of others - in silence or out loud - You are beautiful.

Let us be willing to say of ourselves - I am beautiful, or I am willing to know my beauty.

If you found the poem difficult to say, you may want to say the following prayer:

Dear God,

I may not feel beautiful.
I may not feel worthy of your love.
But I am willing to understand that it is not for me to make myself beautiful to you.
It is not for me to make myself worthy of you.

I am beautiful because...
You are my beauty.
You are my worth.

I cannot become enough on my own.
But when I know myself as part of you, I am more than enough.
I am everything.

Your beauty shines through me.
Dear God, I am willing for your beauty to shine through me.

I am willing to stop being preoccupied with my failings and build up my confidence, based not on my abilities, but on your abilities.

I am willing to hear you say that I am beautiful.
I am willing to believe you.

Thank you for working in my mind, my heart and my life today.

I see your beauty and I see my own.

Thank you.

Amen
