I want to be charming. Do You?
Let me start here – Do not miss this:
Beautiful women are women with character.
Charming women are women with character.
Yup. I was designed that way – and
so were you. We were each designed as women to desire charm and beauty. We want
to be lovely and bubbly. We want to be warm and accepted. We each long to be
thought of as kind and show-stopping.
The fountain of that charm and
beauty comes from God alone as it forms our character. Without it, charm is …
deceptive, manipulative, thin, self-serving, and plain old fake.
Proverbs
31:30 - New International Version (NIV)
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
Bet you have met that fake chick;
friends with her as long as she wants something for you.
What about that other fake chick;
smiling at you in the halls of your school, but talking about you behind your
back.
That fake chick too; the one that looks
at you in the mirror. Likelihood is that we have done some of these
things too - maybe worse. I have, so I will speak for myself.
That chick – the one in the mirror, allows us to spend our time and energy working on ourselves and giving others a little grace for being imperfect. Knowing that we have been messed up, and been accepted, loved, and even forgiven by God sure does change the script.
So, let your definition of charm
be redefined as we spend time together. Let our expectations of ourselves look
a little different…maybe we just get to be loved when we aren’t perfect. Then
let that trickle out into your life. Share more smiles and encouragements than
criticism. Give more of yourself and stop requiring others to fulfill all of
your needs.
Let your charm come naturally. I
am excited to share that growth!
Love,
