song of songs 4:7 all beautiful you are, my darling; there is no flaw in you.
lately i've been finding entirely too many of my flaws.
do you ever do that? seek out blemishes until you feel not a hint of beauty?
sometimes i wish i could understand what it would feel like to simply trust Jesus at his word.
i get so frustrated when i tell my friend over and over that she looks beautiful - but i am constantly complaining about what God says is beautiful everyday.
what joni read was indeed very true: we have to begin by thinking something - then that will lead to believing it.
and since i don't think i'm good enough, i am not even on my way to believing i'm good enough. or pretty enough. or talented enough.
just reading excerpts from song of songs is like reading the greatest poetry and love story of all times - and if you just picture Jesus sweeping us off our feet with lines like, "how beautiful you are, my darling! oh, how beautiful!" well, dang.
maybe someday i'll begin thinking - so i can start believing.
"arise, come, my darling; my beautiful one, come with me."

I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter, but I think you are soooo beautiful! I have thought that way since the moment I layed eyes on you the day you were born! I think you are constantly growing, maturing, and changing-but entirely BEAUTIFUL. And, just for the record...when I see you, I think (and feel) JOY!!!! Thanks for sharing who you are. I love you!!!
