It was June 4, 2017, Sunday afternoon when I had a dream that talks about "Beauty". (you might share this to anyone that may feel just averaged or sometimes insecure of him/herself):
***happy reading***
I'm standing in the middle of a great crowd inside a great modern mansion, wearing a plain and modest purple dress with a white little sparkling crown over my head. It seems that no one looks to appreciate or recognize me, just me - like I'm invisible. At the entrance of the gate, there's a great overlaying red carpet. Here came a very beautiful woman whose very tall and of great body posture. She wears a big rainbow-colored crown and a big golden gown. As she walks through the crowd, the crowd gave her the aisle and everyone did bow down before her. Until I have realized, that I am the only one who's left... standing alone. I was forced to bow down but I gave not even a few degrees to bow before her. As I look back, I saw there were two men behind me, standing.. and an another man from the crowd who bowed down that stood up again.. and they stood still. Then the highly-praised beautiful woman saw me and looked at me with a great fierce in her eyes. She scolded me to bow before her. But I refused. As I refused, she chased after me with great speed. But as I went out through the mansion, I saw her that she couldn't run to me anymore. And an old man in the exit gate told the gasping beautiful woman, "Sorry miss, that's your limit." That means, it's her limitation regardless of the worldly things she has. And as I run and move forward, I saw my path, my limit, and it's endless. I saw my endless path leading towards the temple of great ambiance and glory.
***end of the dream***
Yes, its true. Sometimes I find myself insecure and just average with what do others have. A beautiful face, fame, riches and other things that I know that could make my life more easier. But then, I know that it's not the point of our lives. It's not what we have but it's about how we deal through the things that we don't have in our lives and get those from our own dirty hands.
I came to realize that from my dream that even though my skin was not white and fair as other girls have, even though I don't have a beautiful nose or beautiful as them, or as smart as them, or as rich as they are; I know that I can be beautiful in my own way. Just as how I value myself, my personality, my character and as long as I know who am I and to where should I stand for having that great knowledge and acknowledgement that I'm a daughter of my Heavenly Father who would not let me suffer because He loves me. And looking on the brighter side of hope that I can improve and prove myself worthy for His Kingdom.
I have remembered what my Mom told me before when I was mocked at the school that, "It is will never be right to be envied with the things that others has, but with who she or he is." Because you can attain any material thing in the world - it was just about the action thing towards that materialistic goal. But the fact of having a great character and personality, it cannot be purchased in just a second but it is to developed for a long time.
I know that our eternal goal and measurement to have in this life is all about our Testimony of Our Savior Jesus Christ even at the end of our lives here on earth. I know that as we run out through the temptations with courage and good intentions, we can attain comfort, peace and assurance that The Lord will never leave us alone.
