My Beauty

Proverbs 31:30 ~ "Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised." My beauty, of what others and what the world describe as beauty, is, and will ever be, utterly in vain. I will not boast in my beauty, but I will boast all the more of the beauty I am in Christ Jesus and Him alone who has made me a new creation. (2 Corinthians 5:17) I will boast all the more gladly of my beauty because in Christ, I am fearfully and wonderfully made!! Let me say that again because it is so profound and so good as we are saying out loud of our declaration! I will forever boast all the more in my beauty in the Lord, all because He - not myself - made a new creation in Christ! My beauty is not based on makeup. It is not based on what guys (or anyone else) perceive, compliment on, or find attractive about my body, or me as a person. I am God's temple, so I am to honor God with my body. (1 Corinthians 6:18-20) My beauty is not my firm foundation on which I stand, for my firm foundation is found rooted deeply in Christ Jesus and Jesus alone! My beauty is not based on what my friends and family say. My beauty is not found through the internet and social media. My beauty is not based on the clothes, necklaces, shoes, bracelets, rings, or anything else I wear. (1 Timothy 2:9-10) My beauty is found and rooted deeply in the Lord God Almighty, which is what I will boast about all the more!! Amen!! Soli Deo Gloria!!
