You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride; 

you have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes.

Revamp My Personality

I've been worried about a lot of things lately. There's an unrest about me that causes striving. I don't like it, so I've been seeking God relentlessly in an effort to quiet my soul.

I'm going to do my best to share what God has put on my heart, so bear with me.

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit.

I Peter 3:3-4

Peter is not saying that we shouldn't enjoy wearing pretty things. He is not saying that we shouldn't speak. I believe what he is trying to say is that true beauty comes from a heart at rest.

I'm not a gentle and quiet woman. I am loud. I ask too many questions when I'm nervous and when I'm comfortable and at ease. I'm not prone to long silences. If no one is talking, I take that as an invitation to share my thoughts or ask more questions. Whoa!

I've asked God to revamp my personality. Yes, shut the door of my lips and guard my every word. And while you're at it, make me someone really godly. Someone more like Ruth or Esther. He is the God of miracles.

God is changing me, but I remain gregarious. In fact, instead of making me someone else - he is making me more like me. The glorious thing about God is that the more his we become, the more ourselves we become.

To have a gentle and quiet spirit is to have a heart that trusts in God, a spirit that has been quieted by his love and filled with his peace. Not a heart that is striving and restless.

"He will quiet you with his love" (Zeph. 3:17). A woman of true beauty is a woman who in the base of her soul is at rest, trusting God. She exudes a sense of calm, a sense of rest, and invites those around her to rest as well.

What can be more beautiful than a woman who invites you to rest and be captivated by her peace?

Prayer:

Father, quiet me with your love. Love me the way you love Israel.
