"True Beauty”

By Keiandra Arceneaux 

Wide nose, thick hips, straight nose, full lips, tall, thin, wide grin, round face, oval face, full of style and impeccable grace, full breasted, flat chested; Where does my true beauty lie?  Can I impress him with my intellect and my knowledge of what’s going on across the globe?  Or is it my walk that will catch his eye or the way that I look at him when I sashay on by?   Exactly where is it that my true beauty lies?  Is it in the way that I kiss, or is it in the way I hug him that lets him know that it’s his love that I have missed?  Is it my smile that can brighten a room or the sound of my laughter that can change his mood?  Exactly where does my true beauty lie?  

It’s not these thick hips, these full breasts, and these full lips, or this oval face and my impeccable grace it’s in the fact that I am living each and every day like I want to see His face.  True beauty is my chastity, my purity, my humility, my honesty.  True beauty is love and forgiveness, caring and tenderness, patience and thoughtfulness.  Ummm, this is where my true beauty lies.   I am female wonderfully made and I can impress him with the things that God gave; faithfulness, goodness, kindness gentleness, these are the my gifts.  And if he doesn’t love you after these things you offer? My simple advice is, don’t even bother!!!!
