Beauty for Ashes

These are all programs to help us with our outer beauty, but what about our Inner Beauty?
God has designed us for transformation to take place.   Just like a butterfly transforms itself by pushing its way out of the cocoon, we can transform ourselves by breaking free from the cocoon of our fears, insecurities, guilt – anything that is keeping us from being whole and complete. Just like the caterpillar making its metamorphosis into a beautiful butterfly, we will metamorphose into the beautiful woman God intends us to be.

 Put on your strength; put on your beautiful garments.  Isaiah 52:1

A garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.   Isaiah 61:3

 Clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.  Colossians 3:12

 All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another.  1 Peter 5:5

May you all be clothed in God's Garments today.
