We were each created unique and special. He gives us, we are to be good stewards of the gift. If you feel your value lies in being merely decorative, I fear that someday you might find yourself believing that s all you really are. Time erodes all such beauty. These are the things I cherish so in you.
Real beauty is a rare quality that few find because it doesn t come easily or even naturally.
It takes much refinement, like gold in the fire, a precisely cut jewel, or a shaped clay pot on the wheel. Only a submitted life can be shaped and molded by the Potter. True beauty comes from God s love inside our hearts. It gives sparkle to our eyes, joy and shine to our faces, and energy to our bodies. It outlives our wrinkles and gray hair, giving us meaning and purpose.
