I'm working for the lord,not for men. So, what does it matter what I look like.
I can't impress God with my clothes, the kind of shoes i wear or how well I have applied my makeup.
it's how I’ve dressed my heart that matters.
Have I covered it in impurity and selfishness.. maybe laced with a little conceit,a smidgen of lust, or a speckle of pride?
OR
have I covered this precious vessel in righteousness and love. Have I allowed God to work in my heart?
Have I allowed God full reign, surrendering over every inch of it?
Before I leave the house, I don't want to look in the mirror at my face to see if I look okay,fix an eyelash that seems out of place or a strand of hair that sticks up but instead I want to be able to take a good look at my heart because that is where true beauty rests.
Too much time and effort is put into the physical and not enough into the spiritual.
I am beautiful because i am a daughter of the creator of heaven and earth but the beauty that I was given on the outside will not last forever.
Soon my physical beauty will fade and youth will no longer be.
Wrinkles will set in and my skin will droop and my bones will dry out but that won’t be the end of my beauty.
The world as i know it defines woman by physical beauty.
Woman all over the world are rated by their outside appearance.
But
God isn't looking at your face, he's looking at your heart.
***********************************************************************************************************************
I so badly want to be a woman who captivates the room with her wisdom and passion.
I want to be that old woman knowing that she still has beauty to offer the world because it wasn't her outside appearance that made her beautiful in the first place, it was Jesus.
It was his hands molding her heart that made her gorgeous.
It was his light shining out of her that made her irresistible.
ohhhhh, I want that!
The last few weeks God has been calling me closer to him and His beauty amazes me.
He is just so perfectly gorgeous and the funny thing is that i haven't got a clue what he looks like physically.
Oh, to think that kind of beauty lives inside of me.
my heart literally skips a beat just thinking about it.
Proverbs 31
31:17 She girds herself with strength
31:20 She extends her hands to the poor. Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy
31:25 Strength and honor are her clothing
31:26 She opens her mouth with wisdom, and her tongue is the law of kindness
31:30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.
75 days later…
and this is the woman that Christ is raising up in me and it tastes so sweet.
Lord, I pray my heart is yours everyday that I wake. I pray that my beauty is used for you and your work. I pray that my sisters all over the world know the real meaning of being beautiful. Come romance our hearts, make us gorgeous.
