you are beautiful....

song of solomon 4: 1 You are beautiful, my darling, beautiful beyond words. Your eyes are like doves behind your veil. Your hair falls in waves, like a flock of goats winding down the slopes of Gilead.

every morning I read a few verses of the bible before I get in the bathtub... then I think about them a while... when I opened my bible this morning.. this was the verse before me...

I thought.. how awesome for God to think I am beautiful... I had never been told I am beautiful... I was always told I was sexy... but now.. many times people.. both women and men will tell me I am beautiful..

I think it has nothing to do with my appearance.. I think it is my spirit... I think when we are beautiful on the inside.. it shines out to the outward... this has nothing to do with me of course.. I cannot make my spirit beautiful.. this is the spirit God has put in me since I have been changed...

my prayer this morning was for God to continue to re-create me into His image... and I guess as I think about it.. that is the thing that is making me appear to be beautiful to Him.. to look like God... or at least a slight resemblance.. one that is constantly growing and becoming more like Him...

so this day.. I say to you... that you are beautiful...
