I'm a 14 year old girl and I have unusually big ears and other girls at school love to tease me about them. When I asked my Sunday school teacher why God made me with such big ears she said God gave me big ears as a gift and that rather than be unhappy with how big they are I should thank God for giving me big ears because He may have given them to me as a blessing to remind me not to be vain and flirtacious and to be a good listener and to learn. So I have been thanking God and I feel much better about my ears now and I see that the girls who tease me are although very beautiful they are also very vain and already looking to sin with boys. What do other people think? Might God have blessed me with big ears as a cross to bear as some kind of lesson? Or what do people think might be the reason for God giving me such big ears?

Sorry, I'm not a Christian. But I personally think big ears are adorable. You may eventually meet a nice young man who also has a "thing" for girls with big ears and he could be your soulmate! Maybe God gave you big ears so that you could find him easier. :)
Blessed be.

Well, I'm not a Christian, so I personally don't buy that God gave you ears so you would learn not to be vain.
However, that shouldn't stop you from feeling good about yourself. You are in an extremely judgmental phase of your life. Personally I was terribly treated between the ages of 12 and 16. I developed early, my parents weren't well off so I didn't have the "stylish" clothes and my peers let me know about it. I'm sure, large ears or not, that you're a lovely girl and will grow into a lovely woman. More importantly that thinking about your ears as "your cross to bear", remember how it feels to be treated as poorly as your peers are treating you now. It will make you a better, kinder person when you're an adult. And don't worry about what other people your age say. It's entirely superficial and of very little merit.

Well, we don't pick what we look like. But you will probably be a good listener. Vanity seems important at your age, as well as in older. But beauty quickly fades away. Proverbs 31:10-31 tells of the true woman. Your real beauty is who you are, not what you look like.
Be happy with who you are, and Love Jesus. Pray for a Godly mate, and don't be in a big hurry. Make sure he is the one God is sending. Don't let him try to pressure toy into anything that God says is sin. True love waits.

Whoa, tell ur teacher to back up a little here, God created our first parents and since then we have all been born by procreation,the gene pool is varied and we inherit some of our parents/grandparents traits,why would God give you large ears,does ur teacher think God is a cruel commedian He gave us the gift of hearing our human genome decides the size of the ears.

I think that is good what your teacher said. God gave you them for a reason! And by seeking the Lord on these matters and spending more time with Him, you will be blessed!
Lamentations 3:25
The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him;
--Everything in this life will pass away. Our bodies now are not our eternal bodies. If you believe in Jesus Christ and have been saved through trusting in Him and what he did for you on the cross, remember yours is the kingdom of heaven!! And think of how perfect our bodies will be in heaven- they won't be the way they are now. But they will be perfect. I cannot imagine that! God will truly bless you when you keep your mind on Him, and not the things of this world- such as beauty. Because remember that God looks on the inward part. And he has a GREAT plan for you~
1 Samuel 16:7
But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart."

The word says that you are fearfully and wonderfully made.
My husband has told me many times, that he doesn't know why I would love him. He doesn't think that he is handsome.(I do,of course). I told him, that he was and is a gift from God, how could I see anything but a beautiful person. I don't care about anything else.
Don't worry what other people percieve as beautiful. God thinks your beautiful, you are made in his image.
I believe that when Jesus asks about us to God, that God pulls a picture out of his wallet and says, these are my beautiful children.

If he cares about your ears, why isn't he helping the starving, diseased, and abused children around the world, or is that their cross to bear?
If so, your ears seem like a petty problem

Dont sweat it. Many of the girls who were considered "ugly" when I was in high school grew up to be the most beautiful and most of the "pretty" ones ended up old and worn out looking by the time they finished college (if they even went).

I am with your Sunday school teacher she is very right
one should agreed with his share in this life big ears, small nose, long hair, big mouth, ...etc. If we do not believe in GOD and his gifts, then GOD wll be angry from us and will make the gift curse.
