"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 “You’re Beautiful!!”) 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) 🤭. 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 compliment😍.
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 💖 He gave me a new face, a new countenance, a joy that comes only from Him 💕 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 age😍
There were many compliments on consecutive days, which without a doubt could only come from my Beloved Lord 💕
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 💕💕
Gratitude to my Beloved Lord!!!

"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)
