"Those who look at him are radiant with joy; their faces will never show disappointment" (Psalm 34:5)
Good morning dear brides!!
I am here to praise my Beloved for telling me I am beautiful (Chapter 14 βYouβre Beautiful!!β) and for being my fountain of youth!
So, you can understand, there were a few days when I was feeling tired, fatigued, I looked in the mirror and thought I was "ugly". And I even started comparing myself to the OW (other woman), because she was younger than me, and this was somehow taking away my peace.
I talked to my Beloved about feeling this way and I gave all these feelings to Him. And after a few days He assured me that those feelings were not coming from Him, that as His bride, I am beautiful, and He used people to praise me: my students, a teacher (who asked my age and said I didn't look 41 years old) and yesterday I was surprised by a question from a co-worker "teacher, have you ever had cosmetic enhancements?" and I replied no, and she said, "you have the pretty face and not the famous 'crow's feet'. I've already applied the cosmetic enhancements 3 times, and the wrinkles are already visible". (She's much younger than me) π€. And she said this in front of other coworkers early in the morning when we arrived at the teachers' room, I smiled and thanked her for the complimentπ.
After I went to class, I was able to reflect that it was actually Him assuring me that I am His beautiful bride and that He is the fountain of my youth, and His river of life flows through me! That no matter how much the enemy wants to show us otherwise, it doesn't come from Him π He gave me a new face, a new countenance, a joy that comes only from Him π this is His truth!!
And just now, while I was writing this report, He reminded through the mouth of a sister to tell me that I looked beautiful, that I didn't seem to ageπ
There were many compliments on consecutive days, which without a doubt could only come from my Beloved Lord π
And I couldn't help but come here and share this praise, which may seem simple, but I could feel His love, His joy and His peace filling my heart, and I can say that my days are lighter by His side ππ
Gratitude to my Beloved Lord!!!
"Those who look at him are radiant with joy; their faces will never show disappointment" (Psalm 34:5)
"So we all, who with unveiled faces behold the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit." (2 Corinthians 3:18)
"Your beauty should not be in external adornments, such as braided hair and gold jewelry or fine clothes. Instead, let it be in the inner being, which does not perish, beauty demonstrated in a docile and tranquil spirit, which is of great value to God." (1 Peter 3:3-4)
"On the last and most important day of the festival, Jesus stood up and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture says, rivers of living water will flow from within him."(John 7:37,38)
WOOW. What a beautiful eulogy this morning to our dear one. I remember that my eh had told me that I was not a woman of level and that had hurt me much because I wondered what a woman of level? It’s all about having the car, the money, being a boss, being super organized when I realized that I didn’t have all that but I did have my beloved, and that was enough for me. But he also made me understand that I don’t have to compare myself to other people and that he’s the one who gives talent… so I stopped stooping to a lower level because I didn’t have all that list. He gave me the talent to paint and sew, and above all not to try and prove to anyone what I could do.
6 I myself gave him Oholiab, son of Ahisamac, of the tribe of Dan, as a helper. I have put skill into the minds of all the craftsmen, so that they may do all that I have commanded you:
Exodus 31.6
Dear Keteleen for your message
, which was also an encouragement π€©π
Dear Elizabeth, I wasn’t happy with my appearance either, and hearing from other people that we really need to change something (lose weight, change our hair, get our nails done) makes us feel uncomfortable, and I was like that. And that’s when my beautiful and sweet Heavenly Husband took me to do some physical exercises, go for a walk πΆββοΈ πΆββοΈ, gave me a haircut, and has been encouraging my daughter to tell me almost daily how beautiful I am. π€ I know how beautiful I am to Him, and that He designed every detail. And my heart is full of gratitude to my Beloved for encouraging me to take care of myself again, because He has also taught me that we are the temple of the Holy Spirit and we need to take care of our body, soul and spirit.
How our Beloved loves to surprise us and speak sweetly to our hearts π
Thank you, dear, for your encouragement π
Thank you dear Marta for your testimony, which also encouraged me a lot! As your brides, we have Your guarantee that we are beautifulπ₯°
Beautiful testimony Isabel. The enemy fills our heads with negative thoughts. But we are beautiful, because we are His Bride. And our faces shine because of His presence.
How beautiful how Our Beloved shows you how much He loves you and how beautiful you are.
Praise be to Our Prince
Thank you Liza for joining me and leaving your message! May our thoughts always be fixed on the truths of our Beloved ππ·
Hola querida, tal como lo describes en tu
testimonio yo me sentΓa , y me lo decΓa a mi misma frente al espejo, y se lo dije EC en oraciΓ³n. Un dΓa que ET fue a visitar a los niΓ±os ( antes de regresar a casa ) justo en el dΓa de cumpleaΓ±os de mi niΓ±o mayor, al dΓa siguiente me escribiΓ³ y me dijo ” ayer que te vi, te Vi mΓ‘s hermosa que nunca ” y yop π como ? ese dΓa no me diΓ³ tiempo ni de arreglarme , osea, cero maquillaje, solo alcance a peinarme y colocarme una diadema en el cabello.
EC me mostrΓ³ que si buscamos su rostro , El nos da de su belleza π
βLos que lo contemplan resplandecen de alegrΓa; sus rostros nunca mostrarΓ‘n desilusiΓ³nβ (Salmo 34:5)
βAsΓ todos nosotros, que con el rostro descubierto contemplamos como en un espejo la gloria del SeΓ±or, somos transformados cada vez mΓ‘s y mΓ‘s en su imagen, como por el SeΓ±or, que es el EspΓritu.β (2 Corintios 3:18).
How beautiful is your testimony, dear Alesya! It was quite an encouragement, our Beloved does infinitely more than we can imagine π₯°π·π₯°

I too have struggled with this and I am so excited for you, that He’s shown you so many different ways, how HE sees you. it’s truly remarkable and beyond our wildest imagination. he’s so creative too, using people to tell us these things. praises praises to the best Lover!
Thank you for sharing your praise report precious Elisabete, I too compared myself to the other woman and only saw myself as ugly, but I am so grateful that our Darling Lord convinced me that I am beautiful to Him but the most important fact is that I am His. Isn’t it wonderful that our days are for sure lighter by His side.
That’s right, dear Janine, we are Wonderful, because we have a Man of Value who makes us more like Him every dayπ·π Thank you for your message!
