The woman who looks to God in the face of unkindness becomes more beautiful through suffering. Her face does not bear the lines of bitterness and a disturbed countenance. She displays a rare and remarkable beauty because she has learned to wait upon God. Her happiness is out of reach of those who have wronged her.

Our conduct has a direct influence on how people think about the gospel. The world doesn't judge us by our theology; the world judges us by our behavior. People don't necessarily want to know what we believe about the Bible. They want to see if what we believe makes a difference in our lives. Our actions either bring glory to God or misrepresent His truth.

We are not beautiful because we fit the popular ideal of beauty, and we are not ugly or unattractive because we donâ€™t measure up. Our beauty as human beings is not derived from ourselves. It comes from a beautiful God.

What freedom and hope is found in Christ! We donâ€™t need to feel beautiful about ourselves to find happiness! In fact, weâ€™re better off not even thinking about ourselves. Rather, God has offered us in Jesus Christ forgiveness, hope, freedom from sin and a joy that never ends.

We need to repent of our sin for not loving our children. Spend some time in repentance and read Godâ€™s Word and reading books about motherhood. You may be depleted and need fresh vision and perspective in regards to your role as a mom. Find a way to be alone for a few hours and study Godâ€™s Word as your role as a mother. If you are not enjoying your children if youâ€™re lacking joy as a mother may I appeal to you to take whatever measures necessary to change. Repent and find a mature woman who enjoys her role as a mother to encourage you and hold you accountable to this period of your life.

How often have I been guilty of being the Holy Spirit in their lives? It is my job along with my husbands to impart truth but I canâ€™t reveal truth only the Holy Spirit can. It is my job to point out sin and require obedience but I canâ€™t bring conviction of sin â€“ only the Holy Spirit can convict of sin. It is my job to share the gospel â€“ but I canâ€™t reveal the gospel to my children only the Holy Spirit can reveal the truth of the gospel.

When we choose to obey God and give our bodies to our husbandsâ€”even if we donâ€™t feel like itâ€”God will reward us with pleasure.

True beauty is to behold and reflect the beauty of God.

#True Beauty
The world may not applaud us for wiping running noses, driving in carpools, or talking with our teenager into the wee hours of the morning. And until they are trained, our children might not thank us either. But as we set aside our own selfish desires and glorify God by joyfully serving our children, we are pursuing true greatness according to the Bible. Let us do so with tenderness, affection, and with a smile!
