YOU ALREADY GOT IT

The imago dei

She is so beautiful

Gorgeously blessed

Through and through

She lost it all;

A decade ago

When beauty took a new form

A direction;

The wrong direction

Alas!

She joined the rat race

Unending universal marathon

Tell her!

The crushed petal of the flower;

You are beautiful

Just as you are

Tell her;

Come out from them

Stand tall

Live happily

The goddess of significance

She is weary and worn-out

Bruised and battered on both feet

She didn’t know she got what

She has been chasing for a decade

You are;

Priceless

Rare

Worthy

Dearly loved and accepted

Into an abiding beauty of God

Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty that depends on jewelry, or beautiful clothes, or hair arrangement. Be beautiful inside, in your hearts, with the lasting charm of a gentle and quiet spirit that is so precious to God. 1 Peter 3:3-4 (TLB)

The soul is a tender bird. The heart is a brute lion. My home is Christ, My purpose is to redefine the soul of the nations. My language is love. On pilgrim paths, spilling oceans grace on dry places, until hidden seeds germinate, honoring the Ancient One — most&more.

This is so precious. So many women (and I suppose men) worry about losing their beauty. But beauty is inside. As the great poet Keats said : Beauty is a joy forever.”

  Thanks Carol for your fantastic comment. Yes! “Beauty is a joy forever” ..its unfortunate how many Christians have been distracted by societal definitions and labels of what beauty really is. Christ has become our beauty and significance. Our self worth is measured by the treasure of His life in our born again spirit. This indwelling beauty always affects the external, which leads into Christ esteem instead of self esteem.
