Whether
you’re asking that of your father, your boyfriend, your
husband, or the Creator of the universe…you are hoping
the answer is a resounding “YES! YES YOU ARE!”
In whatever ways you may have been wounded in the past, it doesn’t
change the fact that you are indeed--beautiful!
Beauty is core to a woman—who she is and what she longs
to be. When we speak of beauty we’re not talking about
having that perfect figure, no wrinkles and a magazine cover
smile.
We’re talking about a soulish beauty from the heart--that’s
unveiled for all the world to see.
The only things standing in the way of unveiling our beauty
are doubts, fears and the hiding and striving we fall to as
a result.
We must stop striving and trying to be perfect—we must
have a heart of rest, letting our defenses down and allowing
our beauty to shine.
Beauty is powerful--it speaks, it invites, it nourishes, it
comforts, it inspires, it is transcendent. And that is what
the world longs to experience from a woman. The world needs
it—the world needs YOU.
So rest in the fact that you are captivating, you are lovely
and your…
“beauty will save the world”
–Fyodor Dostoyevsky
“Show me your face, let me hear your voice;
For your voice is sweet and your face is lovely”
