The fact that our culture makes such a big deal about valuing physical beauty greatly points to the fact that God placed the characteristic of beauty within us. Beauty is every woman’s gift. It is a gift from God, it is her gift to God and it is His gift to the world through her. A woman as God designed her, cannot be understood, appreciated or loved apart from beauty. It is the beauty within her that longs to be longed for and cherished. It transcends the desire to be attractive and pretty no matter how powerful the desire or how suppressed or denied it may be.
Every dad needs to hear it and instill it in his daughters. Every husband needs to hear it and build it into his wife. Every boy needs to understand it and respect the beauty of a girl as a gift from God. Every girl needs to see herself in light of God’s truth. Every woman needs to hear the words from Scripture to know what love, respect, dignity, value and honor are all about. Every mom needs to model it and share it with her daughters. It’s a message of true beauty. God created woman. And when He did, He did so in His image and called her, Beautiful. In this bold series, Beautiful – you’ll hear raw stories from real women who are learning that God made them beautiful. Each week we’ll learn the art of Biblical Beauty and expose the lie of the enemy that robs women of their beauty.
