A Beauty Worth Saving....

My thoughts of the day....

Beauty. A word taken for granted but hiding so much power. What is beauty? Why does it have the ability to stir up the deepest emotions in us or cause us to inspire for greater things. Beauty is simple yet it is complex. Beauty is rain falling, it is a rose unfolding, it is the smile of a newborn child, it is the blue eyes of someone's daughter, it is dancing in fields, it is loving deeply, it is a pure heart, it is a cherished friendship, it is laughing so hard you cry, it is unhindered joy, it is the first kiss of a married couple, it is making others happy, it is so many things wrapped up in one...How do you define something so powerful?

I was at work tonight and I was writing a letter to my future kids [something I like to do every once in a while.] This particular letter began addressing my daughters. Here is teeny part of it that has provoked my thoughts ever since:
To my beautiful daughters:
Hello my lovely girls. I sit here writing to you something that has been pressing upon my heart for you to know, something for you to always believe and live for. You were created with a great plan in mind. When Father thought of you, He delighted. You are precious to Him. You are His beautiful princesses whom He desires to unveil. Your beauty is not to be hidden and it is not to be sold either. Your beauty must be saved. Everyone who comes in contact with you won't be able to deny your beauty because they will be able to see you guarding it close to you. They will wonder why you don't sell it for less than what its worth. You will see girls flaunting themselves for attention from men, or even for money. They will be people you don't know and don't be surprised if the temptation takes over some you are close to. It is easy to sell something cheaply if you don't know how much it is worth. Your beauty is precious and valuable, it will change the world. Hold onto it. Keep it. Guard it. Let it be unlocked by a man who is willing to fight for it. You are worth fighting for...but you have to keep the prize valuable. Your purity will be your greatest strength and your love will attract people to you. Don't sell yourselves for something Jesus wouldn't have died for. He died for purity, beauty and love to be released in this world where there wasn't hope. When you find that, you have found gold. You are beautiful. Watch as the Lord unlocks bit by bit and releases it to affect others. That is when you will feel alive....

So what is beauty??? Beauty is worth guarding, it is worth saving until He unlocks it....
