For what I’m certain is the first time in my life I am falling truly and madly in love with my Jesus. I’m learning to be romanced by Him, something I never understood until now. I see His beauty constantly, and beauty is such a big part of this world He created and of my life. And, most of all, I’m beginning to understand and see my beauty, but not because of the generic standards that the world sets up for us.
Women represent God’s need, His want to be loved, to be pursued, and ladies I want you to know that it’s okay to want that, that you don’t need to think that it makes you less worthy if you feel that way. And every woman, whether she is an artist or a housewife or into sports or music or engineering or baking, is valid and beautiful and important.
A beautiful heart is not visible in a woman who ticks all the boxes, a woman who takes on a role because “it’s what women should do”, a beautiful women is someone who’s passion for the Lord shines through her life, no matter what path she chooses. Don’t feel like you have to be the woman in church who makes the tea if you feel like you’ve been called to help with the gardening or go on missions (or vice versa, of course). God has a place for all of us, and He made all of us beautiful. We are all valid and important.
