Results
Mostly A's – Trendy Girl
You look like you have jumped off the pages of the latest girlfriend magazine! You always keep up with all the latest fashions and coolest brands. You are stunning – and you have fun with it. Remember, there is nothing wrong with having fun with makeup, hair and clothes, as long as you don't obsess over them!
Quick tip: Others may perceive you as a high-maintenance girl who spends a lot of time on her appearance. Be careful not to get too engrossed in your looks. Beauty is a gift that must be carried gracefully, and true beauty always begins inside.
Mostly B's – Sporty Girl
Even if you're not a killer athlete, you enjoy the comfort of a casual look. Trackies, sneakers, pjs, t-shirts, old jeans – you could live in your favourite clothes 24/7. You'd much rather keep it simple and enjoy life than stress about your make-up supply and shoe collection.
Quick tip: Don't get stuck in a rut or judge others who are a bit more done-up than you.
Mostly C's – Alternative Girl
You pride yourself on bucking the old status quo and being an individual. You're willing to try new styles and aren't locked into one standard look. You enjoy discovering new stores, new brands, new music. You view clothing as an outward expression of the inner YOU!
Quick tip: There's no harm at all in being or looking different, but don't get consumed with being an individual that you miss the joy of connecting with others. Build friendships with girls who are nothing like you. You might be surprised at what you can learn from each other!
What does the Bible say?
"The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart" 1 Samuel 6:7.
"Charm is deceptive, and a beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised" Proverbs 31:30.
Image is a powerful thing and many standards are thrown at us everyday. It can be really hard to make sense of it all and live a life that's pleasing to God in the way that we feel about ourselves and how we present to those around us.
Before you worry too much about your image to the world – work on what the Lord sees – your heart! After all this is what really counts.
So what's your image? Take time today to think about what God thinks of you – and what image you really want to present to this world!
