Andrew Lemeshonok<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Answer: <\/strong>All people are beautiful but there are many people who don\u2019t know it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Beauty begins in the heart. When one\u2019s heart is pure and one\u2019s thoughts are kind, that person shines from within. It doesn\u2019t matter whether that person has disproportionate traits or an asymmetrical face \u2013 if there is love and light in her face, the most unsightly people appear amazingly attractive. You simply have to believe it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The devil attempts to drive you into a dead end and make you feel inferior. You are led to believe that you\u2019re unseemly, unattractive, and homely, and that everyone turns away from you. Can\u2019t you see that it\u2019s not the case? Therefore, you need to deal with this emotion. You sound offended, \u201cWhy am I not like my neighbours who have Hollywood smiles and look gorgeous?\u201d In my opinion, you have to confess it and ask God to teach you to appreciate and be grateful to him for what you have got. The life around you is certain to change: you\u2019ll have a good job and everything else. Probably, the main reason for the situation you describe is your inner state, which is somewhat unbecoming right now.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The standards of this world and the stereotypes that our contemporaries use come and go out of fashion all the time. The human being was created by God in God\u2019s image and likeness, so he is really beautiful. May the Lord help you to be beautiful and feel it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question: How can I cope with feeling uncomfortable about my body?
