true beauty

"For the LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart."

~ 1 Samuel 16:7 (ESV)

for a beautiful countenance — count blessings.

for beautiful lips — only speak words that make souls stronger.

to carry yourself with poise — carry each other’s burden.

for the most beautiful shape — simply live with one hand receiving all as gift, and other hand giving away the gifts. you becoming the shape of a gift —becoming the shape of a cross.

~Ann Voskamp

"charm is deceitful,  and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised." 

~Proverbs 31:30 (ESV)

"but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious." 

~1 Peter 3:4 (ESV)

"the best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched-they must be felt with the heart." 

~Helen Keller
