Faith, Hope and Love

Okay, so regarding angsty rant in the post below...was funnily uncharacteristic of me in these weeks of faith and excitement...


But I am grateful for Girlfriends In God! <3 It makes me realise that I'm not:


a) weird
b) on my own
c) angsty for no reason. 


hahaha. <3 you girl! (but seriously, we should sleep earlier)  


I sure do believe that God speaks to us. And after getting a confirmation today (AGAIN) of what I'm going to be doing in my future... I have to say, things are not random. I got my "CAPTIVATING" book back from a friend today and decided to check out my lovely bookmarked page. It was almost as if Papa God Himself was answering my rant below. LOL!!!! I will type out the page's contents here. 

FAITH-HOPE-LOVE

Unveiling our beauty really just means unveiling our feminine hearts. 

It's scary for sure. That is why it is our greatest expression of faith, because we are going to have to trust Jesus-really trust Him. We'll have to trust Him that we have a beauty, that what he has said  of us is true. And we'll have to trust him with how it goes when we offer it, because that is out of our control. We'll have to trust him when it hurts, and we'll have to trust him when we are finally seen and enjoyed. That's why unveiling our beauty is how we live by faith. 

Unveiling our beauty is our greatest expression of hope. We hope that it will matter, that our beauty really does make a difference. We hope there is a greater and higher Beauty, hope we are reflecting that Beauty and hope it will triumph. Our hope is that all is well because of Jesus and that all will be well because of him. So we unveil beauty in the hope that Jesus is growing our beauty. Yes, we are not yet what we long to be. But we are underway. Restoration has begun. To offer beauty now is an expression of hope that it will be completed. 

And unveiling beauty is our greatest expression of love, because it is what the world most needs from us. When we choose not to hide, when we choose to offer our hearts, we are choosing to love. Jesus offers; he invites; he is present. That is how he loves. That is how we love- sincerely, as the Scripture says, "from the heart". (1 Peter 1:22) Our focus shifts from self-protection to the hearts of others. We offer Beauty so that their hearts might come alive, be healed, know God. That is Love.

^_^  major LOL. Papa sure has the most awesome and randomest ways to answer us. And okay, fine - one step at a time towards the Beauty of Your Face. =) But always "unveiling my heart" in You. <3
