Living in the same house as a 10-year-old four months out of
the year, I get an all-access pass to all things One Direction round the clock.
I also am kept up-to-date with concert ticket prices and new songs by the “too
cute” boyband. The latter I have actually come to appreciate, because, in all
honesty, the little British buggers aren’t so bad.

The
other day, I was in my car singing along to the 1D “oldie but goodie” “What
Makes You Beautiful” and mentally doing the Just Dance routine to the song (it
happens). When I started really listening in to the lyrics, however, I could
have shouted “eureka!” While the song is obviously originally intended for a
bashful British babe, the message of could also be a love song from God to His
children.
“You’re insecure,
don’t know what for,”
At times, I find myself talking to God with my head down,
insecure due to daily screw-ups and hang-ups. But, God looks past my
imperfections and sees me as His own.
“Don’t need make-up,
to cover up,
being the way that you are is enough.”
I don’t need to work extra hard to please God. All He asks
is that I love Him with all my heart, soul, mind and strength.
“You light up my world like nobody else”
God loves humanity SO MUCH! We are so special to Him. Otherwise
He wouldn’t have let His own son be brutally killed just so we could be with
Him forever.
“You don’t know,
Oh, oh,
You don’t know you’re beautiful.”
We don’t see ourselves the way God sees us!
“If only you saw what I can see,
You’ll understand why I want you so desperately,
Right now I’m looking at you and I can’t believe,
You don’t know,
Oh, oh,
You don’t know you’re beautiful.”
God wants a friendship with every person so badly because of
His extravagant love.
You are beautiful in God’s eyes!
