beautyFrom Carolyn Mahaney and Nicole Whitacre’s new book, True Beauty:

While women in our culture thirst after what few drops of glory and goodness they can drain from physical beauty, they look older even as they try to look younger, more hollow and hardened even as they chase after an elusive happiness.

By contrast, the woman who pursues the godly woman’s True Beauty Regimen grows radiant as she looks to God in adversity (Ps. 34:5). She lights up the faces of those she serves, and most precious of all, she pleases our Savior.

Christ is the beautiful One. His glory and splendor, his sacrifice and salvation, define true beauty. It is not the world that defines beauty. It is not the latest fashions, or a photoshopped image, or an ideal body type. True beauty is, to the world, as incomprehensible as it is undeniable. . . .

For the Christian woman, each day brings us one step closer to true beauty. As earthly beauty fades away, imperishable beauty grows stronger and lovelier, and the most beautiful vision we will ever see draws nearer—the day when we will “behold the king in his beauty” (Isa. 33:17), when we will see our beautiful Savior face-to-face.

Until that beautiful day, let us gaze upon the beauty of the Lord all the days of our lives, and pursue a beauty that is precious in his sight.

True beauty is to behold and reflect the beauty of God.
