Beauty

Beauty. Beauty is something that is radiant. Beauty captivates and captures your very being. There is always something in nature, or in someone that captivates you. For women, we want to be radiant and captivating. We should strive to be so. We also want someone else to see us as captivating, radiant, and timeless. We wait, search and contemplate how or when that is going to come to pass. Women come in all shapes and sizes, eyes are different, hair is different right down to the style and or color. We all have different characteristics that make us who we are, these are the very things that make us captivating and radiant. You all have heard, "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder." Who is the one that beholds you? God is the ultimate beholder. He is the only one who sees your absolute, true beauty. He created you, molded you. He made you into the radiant, beautiful, exquisite woman you are today. Society today tells us all the time where and how to enhance your beauty, in any way possible. But why would you want to enhance something that God has made perfect in His eyes?

It's easy to want to listen to the lies that the media and our culture tell you all the time. You have to look, and be a certain way to be absolutely gorgeous. My thought is if you look like everyone else, how do you maintain your own personal radiance and beauty? It's not possible. Beauty comes in so many different ways. Yes, there are girls that you see that you think "Wow! She's so gorgeous!" But, she could be this snot nose selfish person who treats everyone like crap. Is that beautiful? Yeah, not so much. That's why Jesus says in 1 Samuel 16:7 "Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." It's what's inside of you that is ultimately your source of beauty. It's easy to spot someone with true, captivating beauty. Someone could see that you have a heart of compassion for people, or your a dynamic speaker, or you are very good at arts (singing, dancing, painting etc.)

You could also be an amazing writer and you captivate people through poems, or blogs, or just scribbles on a page that you think are stupid. Whatever it is, you are beautiful in every which way you can think of. I know sometimes it's easy to believe that you aren't beautiful. I have trouble myself believing that I'm beautiful, radiant and captivating. But you know what? I know it's true because GOD says so. I am a daughter of the Most High. A princess in the majestic courts of the King. You can't be a princess and not be of great beauty and grace. 1 Peter 3:3-4 says "Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight."

It's what inside of you that is the true beauty. You are beautiful! Do not forget that. You need to believe in yourself, in your very different, unfading beauty that only YOU possess. Who cares if you don't have fancy clothes, a nice car, or aren't a skinny petite woman. You're still outrageously BEAUTIFUL! You're radiant, captivating and timeless. God sees it, and He loves you with a love that none of us will ever be able to fully grasp. So, if the man that loves you knows you're beautiful and reminds you of it. Don't you think it's true? =)
