I see you looking at me with that look of admiration and Confusion; I've
come to know so well. I see you struggling to figure out what it is about me
that won't allow you to look away. I see you trying to pin point the physical
trait that is drawing you so strongly to me. I see you comparing me to the type
of women who USUALLY grabs your attention. I see you noticing that you aren't
the only man noticing. I see you getting frustrated because you can't figure
out why you think I'm so beautiful.
Well let me help you out:
- It's not my face, you've seen much prettier I'm sure.
- It's not my make-up; I don't wear enough to really make a difference.
- It's not my hair, it's nice but plain.
- It's not my clothes, lots of women dress nicely.
- It's not my body; I don't have the kind of measurements to be considered "fine".
- It's not my smile; it's warm and welcoming but not unique enough to stand
out.
You see,
- It's my confidence, the way I don't seem to care whether you look or not.
- It's my humbleness, the way I acknowledge my flaws rather than disguise them.
- It's my honesty, the way you automatically feel its okay to trust what I say.
- It's my tactfulness, the way you never have to worry about your feelings being
hurt.
- It's my submissiveness, the way I quietly allow you to take charge and be
a man.
- It's my aggressiveness, the way I go after the things I want.
- It's my intelligence, the way I think deeply and articulate clearly.
- It's the way I have a life of my own so that I don't feel the need to "sweat"
- It's my naiveté, the way I am willinng to let you teach me the things I don't
know.
- It's my integrity, the way I show yoou that I will always do the right thing
and the way I expect you to do the same.
- It's my naughtiness, the way I am wiilling to let go of my inhibitions, sometimes.
- It's my sense of humor, the way I brring out the "silliness" in you and the
way I make you laugh. - It's my thoughtfulness, the way I comfort you when you
are hurt, encourage you when you are strong, help you when you are weak and
motivate you to do things you never thought possible.
- It's my loyalty, that special way I make you feel like you are the only man
alive when I am with you.
- It's my independence, the way I havee my own place, my own ride, and I pay
my own bills.
- It's the way I don't ask YOU to do tthe things I should do for myself.
Yes, I'm beautiful. I have the kind of beauty that does not fade with age or change with trends. I see you looking, trying desperately to figure out why you are so attracted to me. Baby, allow me to let you in on the secret to understanding MY beauty. I am created in the image of God and have allowed Him to have His way in my life so therefore what you see is God's woman and you cannot help but see the beauty in me because it is Christ in me, the hope of Glory!!
So look at me with your heart first because that is the only way you will ever see the beauty within and then, look at me with your eyes because I am fearfully and wonderfully made!
Now, am I not the finest woman you've ever seen?
