You Are Beautiful #2: Post Verses About Your Beauty Around Your House

This post is the second in the series about the beautiful woman, inspired by the book Captivating by John and Stasi Eldgredge.  If you haven't read the book, do it!  If you haven't read the first post, here it is.

We've been talking about the beauty of a woman.  In my first post I talked about surrounding yourself with the truth (that you are wonderfully made).  This second tip for feeling as beautiful as God sees you could go under that same category; because surrounding yourself with the truth is the best way to remember that you are loved.

You are Beautiful #2: Post Verses About Your Beauty Around Your House

 I can't stress enough the importance of memorizing scripture.  A friend of mine actually just wrote a book on the topic.  It just came out, so here's the link to get more info on where you can get it!  The book is called The Word of God: Unleashing the Power of Scripture Memorization by Michele Miner.

 

Here's your assignment for today to remind yourself that you are beautiful.  Get out some index cards, or, if you want to make it look cute, some scrapbooking paper.  Use markers or a printer and write out the verses at the bottom of this post.  Once you have them all written out, put them up on the walls of your home - - on your mirrors, doors, cupboards, dresser, closet... anywhere you'll see them throughout the day!  After a while you'll find yourself reciting the verses automatically when you're feeling down on yourself or in need of God's Word.  Trust me - when done right, this can change your view of yourself as a daughter of God.

 

Here are the wonderful, uplifting verses!  Enjoy, beautiful ladies!
