advice for advice?

i was just wondering how to help people that come and talk to me about certain things. people talk to me alot about there problems, not all the time and its not my job ether but its just out of friendship. i just wanted to know what would be the best thing to say when someone sais to me "im fat" or "im ugly aint i". i would just say no your not but that doesnt seem very convincing any more. i would realy like them to be happy but im not sure how and i know it wont be to easy ether.
advice kindly taken, thanks.

Hi there friend. Thank-you for the question.

When counseling anyone on anything, it is important that you bring the person into contact with God's Word. Take some time to prepare. For example, study what the Scriptures have to say about physical appearance and share these perspectives, demonstrating why the world's obsessions and traditions are wrong.

Hope this helps.

do you know anywhere specificly in the Bible about counseling or physical apearance?

Gen 1:27 - God made us in His image
Romans 12:2 - Vanity is a trap where we are conformed to the world.

Receiving the spirit of God is a miracle, it's a gift given to those that have been allowed to see their lost condition and they cry out to the Lord: Romans 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
