Beauty is, without question, the most essential and the most misunderstood of all of God's qualities--of all feminine qualities too. We know it has caused untold pain in the lives of women. But even there something is speaking. Why so much heartache over beauty? We don't ache over being geniuses, or fabulous hockey players. Women ache over the issue of beauty--they ache to be beautiful, to believe they are beautiful, and they worry over keeping it if ever they can find it...
A woman knows, down in her soul, that she longs to bring beauty to the world. She might be mistaken in how (something every woman struggles with), but she longs for a beauty to unveil. This is not just culture, or the need to "get a man." This is in her heart, part of her design.
Captivating, John and Stasi Eldredge
P.S. Ladies, if you haven't read Captivating by John and Stasi Eldredge, buy it or borrow it from someone. I definitely recommend the 52 pages I've read so far!
