Some Much-Needed Encouragement



I really needed to hear this... enjoy and let me know what you thought of it.

"A woman who has truly denied herself, taken up her cross, and become entirely consumed with Jesus Christ is not going to be insecure, starving herself and obsessed with making herself look more attractive.  Rather, she's so enraptured with Jesus Christ that she's completely lost sight of herself...
A woman who has yielded her selfish agenda to the Spirit of Jesus Christ, who does not listen to the voice of her self but yields only to the voice of her King, is not going to become a sex object, throwing herself at guy after guy in desperation.  Her security comes from a completely different source.  She doesn't derive her value from the attention of guys.  Her value comes from knowing she has been redeemed and loved by the King of all kings.  Her focus is on His desires, not on her own selfish wants."
Taken from The Lost Art of True Beauty by Leslie Ludy - emphasis is mine.
