Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.~Proverbs 31:30
There are many days, more than I want to the count, that I look in the mirror and I see the graying hairs and the changes to my skin. My body is different in more ways than one with my waist doing more expanding than shrinking. Yes, my youth is ever fading, but God reminds me that my beauty does not come from outside because physical beauty fades over time. However, the beauty that remains is that which comes from the Lord.
A woman who fears the Lord shines and glows because His beauty rests on her. A woman who spends time with God eyes are bright and full of smiles because His face is turned towards her as she looks to Him for all her needs. Her lips are turned upward and she winks at life because her lips praise the Lord.
Her figure is divine because she has been transformed by He Spirit of the living God. Her gray hair speaks to the wisdom of her leaning not to her own understanding and her belly is full of joy,
A woman who walks with God has no need to use false flattery or tricks to seduce because it is the fragrance of God that attracts others to her. He is graceful and kind. Sincere in her heart and loving to all. That is beauty, the beauty that I desire.
So don’t let the mirror trick you. Embrace what you see. Love yourself, just as God loves you. Love one another and walk in the beauty of His love.
Lord, we love You and praise You for making us into the beautiful image that reflects You. In Jesus name. Amen
