Proverbs 31:29   “Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.”

God is adorning you with glory, power and majesty. He will send people into your life to appreciate your real beauty, your real essence. It is the kind of beauty that lasts in a face full of wrinkles, gray hair, falling arches, crow’s feet and all the pitfalls that may come your way. There’s a beauty that you can see in a 90-year-old woman’s face that causes an old man to smile. God is decorating you on the inside. He is putting a glory in you that will shine through your eyes. A man will come and look into your eyes. He will not talk about whether they were blue or whether your eye-shadow was right or not. He will look in your eyes and see trust, peace, love and life.

Appreciate the ornaments of God. Let God give you a new attitude. Let Him wash everything out of your spirit that is against Him. Let go of anger, hate, frustration and bitterness. He repeats today, just as He did 2,000 years ago, “Woman, thou art loosed.”
