A note from David: Beauty is powerful. A beautiful woman is a powerful woman. But what is beauty? If you look at the cover of Vogue or 17 magazines, beauty is skinny, young, blonde and someone with large lips. But what is beauty? What makes a woman beautiful? Women of FCC, do you think of yourselves as beautiful? How does God see you? How does he define beauty? A few weeks ago, I asked the women standing around me if I could take their picture for today’s service. I was nearly knocked over by the stampede of women running out the door with their hands covering their faces. I sensed I touched a nerve. Perceptive of me, I know. I asked my wife why they reacted that way. Brenda said, “It is because we don’t feel good enough.” As I thought of every woman running away, I thought of how God had made them beautiful. Women reflect God’s beauty, but it is not like or society defines beauty. My desire today is to encourage women to consider how they can express their beauty in a world that needs a healthy redefinition. You are beautiful. Let the whole world know why.
