The Beauty Within You

Luke 12:27

Consider how the wildflowers grow: they don’t labor or spin thread. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was adorned like one of these!

God adorns His creation with beauty. We see this in the spring when flowers start to bloom and in the fall when the colors of the trees change. We even see it in the dead of winter when snow covers the ground. As part of His creation, God adorns His people with beauty, as well. You might not feel that way when you look in the mirror, but just as a rose bud has to fully bloom to unveil its beauty, we often have to shed world tormented layers before the beauty God has placed inside us can unfold.

As women, we take pride in our appearance. We are often consumed with finding just the right make-up, the right outfit, and certainly the right accessories to feel beautiful. Solomon had the best and greatest of everything, yet his beauty could not compare to the wildflowers that grew in the field. God made each of us to grow with a beauty this world cannot duplicate, and we find it by trusting Him.

Praise God today with full assurance that He has made you beautiful. Regardless of how you may have aged, He has placed a radiance in you that the world needs to see. Bloom where you are planted, and others will be drawn to your beauty. Your story, your witness, your attitude, and your everyday life all play a part in revealing a bloom that only God could design. Determine to live in His presence and allow that beauty to unfold for the world to see. What others view is absolutely stunning!

Have a blessed day!
