Beauty

"You make me want to be a better man"- Jack Nicholson to Helen Hunt at the end of As Good As It Gets
Doesn't every woman want to be a woman who changes the world with her beauty? I know I do.
I'm only just starting to settle into my own, for feminine beauty goes far beyond what the eye can see.

God reveals Himself to the world in many different ways, but He wooed my heart through the beauty of His creation. If I see God through beauty...then my own should reflect Him shouldn't it? He created us man and woman...and as women we are the very embodiment of Beauty.

I know though that we are layered, as flowers are with petals....and we don't simply bloom for all the world to see. Just as a flower is brought to bloom by the soft touch of sunlight, so we are as we are loved...as our soul if loved.

God doesn't throw Himself at people, you must seek Him...and you will find Him when you seek Him with all your heart. I think this reflects something of who we are as women...well at least I know this of myself. People cannot simply have me....I don't simply show people the depths of my heart. I must be sought, pursued...and loved.

Just a thought :)
