"You are Beautiful"
These three simple words are what millions of women long to hear. Whether we are eight years old twirling in our new dress, or we are in our twenties going on a date or even when we are middle aged and married with grown children, ALL women long to hear these three simple words.
Just look at our society and how it treats beauty. You turn on the TV and after ten minutes of watching you have probably seem at least one if not two commercials for mascara. Now mascara can only do so much. What society is truly marketing is beauty. They know that what women truly want is to be seen as beautiful. How many times have you looked at a magazine cover and seen "YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL" on the cover? Its always Lose 10 pounds or How to Dress Sexier or something along those lines. Society never tells us that we are beautiful, but we long for those words. And some women will try anything to have these words said to them. Wearing clothes that don't reflect our dignity as women, developing an eating disorders because society has this cookies cutter mold of what beautiful is supposed to look like, and even plastic/ cosmetic surgery to Physically change the way we look. But this does not have to happen.
The reality is that we have a God that tells us we are beautiful each and everyday. Song of Song 4:7 "Ah my beloved, How BEAUTIFUL you are." Our God created us. He knows everything about us and yet He sees us as truly and utterly beautiful. We are is precious daughters and He loves us as the perfect father would. Yes, God the King of the universe is our father.
And what is the daughter of a King? A PRINCESS! Yes, you my dear, are a princess. But not a princess in the sense of every eight year old's fantasy. But a princess because we are the precious daughter of a King and we the kingdom's most prized and beloved person. That He the King would lay down His life to save us. He would DIE for us.
He did Die for us. He humbled Himself, the King of the Universe, to be born to woman and come down to earth to save us. He came and died on a cross for US! So that we can have our inheritance. HEAVEN! He did that because He loves us more than we can ever imagine. And that gives us worth. We are priceless to Him. We are his priceless masterpiece. "For we are his workmanship." Ephesians 2:10
We as women are beautiful. You reading this YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. And you are loved more than you will ever know but your father the King of the Universe. NEVER EVER forget that. If you take those three single words to heart you life, your world, you will never be the same.
In Him through Her,
Jes

A LOVE LETTER FROM YOUR FATHER
Hold on to me. With everything you have hold on to me. Don't be afraid I am here to stay. I love you too much to ever let you go. I am here for you. I am right here waiting for you. Just don't be afraid. I love you so much. When tough times come around don't feel like I have abandoned you. Because I WILL never I mean NEVER leave you. I love you too much. In those times when you cannot seem to take another step ask me for your help, and I will carry you.
I don't want to hide from me. I know your heart for I created it. I know the parts you hide from me. I know the tender parts of your heart and those wounds you try to hide from everyone. I know those tears you hid from everyone and I know exactly what each one is for. I know that smile you put one when you want to hide how you really feel. I know exactly what makes you smile and what pisses you off. I know how sometimes you feel like you are too much for people to handle, but at the same time you feel like you are not enough. I know all of you insecurities.
Despite all these flaws you see in yourself. I only see you as perfect. As my BELOVED daughter. I created you beautiful. So the next time you want to complain about your weight, your hair, your nail beds, or whatever remember those things are what make you YOU. You have my fingerprints all over you. And I don't make junk. I only make good things. Because if I created junk what would that say about me.
Remember my Beautiful Daughter, I LOVE YOU. I love you with all that I am, and I hold the universe in the palm of my hand, so my love for you is vast beyond all measures. Hold on to me and allow my love to be your strength.
I LOVE YOU,
your heavenly FATHER.
I wrote this in my journal almost a month ago when I was facing some pretty huge struggles. And I know that I did not write this. I was the Lord, and I wanted to share it because it says a lot to us women. We ache to be loved. And we search and search for it. But in reality we are so love. We are loved with an unending love that we can never even imagine. We did nothing to deserve this love we just have it. So rest assured my friends for we are loved beyond what we can possibly imagine.

Becoming. A blog!
Well hello.
So It has been a week since I came off the road with my year of service with NET Ministries. And so much has happened. It was truly life changing. I learned more about my heart than I ever expected and have grown so much as a woman of God and as a person. And to quote Hillsong's song "Fire Fall Down" "I will never be the same."
So why a blog? Well I already keep a prayer journal but I am not going to publish that but sometimes I want to share things that the Lord has revealed to my heart that I think more people need to hear. I have always loved writing. And I had to keep a blog in college so I figured I could give this a shot.
What this is going to be about? Well we as humans are all on a path that the Lord has laid out for us. Now we can choose to truly become what we are meant to be or we can just wander around aimlessly hoping that something good will come from our wanderings. I have chosen to follow the Lord and Truly BECOME the woman He intended for me to be. And I have full faith in Him for he says in Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know well the plans I have in mind for you, Plans for your welfare not for woe, plans to give you a future full of hope."
This is a place where I can share what the Lord has revealed to my heart and hopefully it can speak to your heart as well. My goal is heaven and I can lead you a little closer to there myself then I have done a good work. May the Lord bless you abundantly.
IN HIM THROUGH HER,
