Defining Beauty
Beauty is submissive and is not prideful
Beauty is teachable--ever eager to learn
Beauty speaks not ill of others, but rather,
Builds them up through words of love.
Beauty is virtuous and worth far more than rubies.
Beauty is always gentle and full of grace.
Beauty is the combination of wisdom and desecration.
Beauty is selfless--seeking only to serve others.
Beauty is not of the world, but of God.
Beauty is joyful, no matter the situation.
Beauty is sustained by the Holy Spirit.
Beauty does not quickly resort to anger,
But is always self controlled and forgiving.
Beauty is not defiled by gossip,
Nor is she tarnished by malice.
Beauty is girded with the waistband of truth,
And is protected by the breastplate of righteousness.
True beauty is all this and more,
And can only be acquired through the father.
Oh Father, this is my prayer...
... make me truly beautiful.
