As I've been reading through the Old Testament I've noticed that almost all the women are described as beautiful. I was beginning to believe that maybe God agrees with the main messages in our culture. Only the beautiful are important. Then, I came upon this verse. I've read it many times before, but in light of my recent readings it took on new meaning. Finally, someone who doesn't base my worth on my physical appearance. God cares more about who I am on the inside, than what I look like on the outside. The pressure is off. Even though I will never be beautiful and thin, God still loves me and finds value in me. Now . . . off to work on my heart!
