I C U Looking.... I see you looking at me with that look of admiration and confusion I have come to know so well. I see you struggling to figure out what it is about me that won't allow you to look away. I see you trying to pin point the physical trait that is drawing you so strongly to me. I see you comparing me to the type of women who USUALLY grab your attention. I see you noticing that you aren't the only man noticing. I see you getting frustrated because you can't figure out why you think I'm so beautiful. Well men... Let me help you out in understanding a Christian Woman's Beauty. It's not my body, I don't show you enough to measure up to other women. It's not my face, you've probably seen prettier. It's not my make-up, I don't wear any to really make a difference. It's not my clothes, lots of other women dress nicely. It's not my hair, it's nice but plain. You see... It's my confidence, the way I stand with the authority and power of the Holy Spirit. It's my humbleness, the way I acknowledge my flaws rather than disguise them. It's my honesty, the way you automatically feel it's okay to trust what I say. It's my submissiveness, the way I quietly allow you to take charge and be a man. It's my agressiveness, the way I go after the things I want in life but with prayer and supplication first. It's my naivete' innocence, the way I am willing to let you teach me the things I don't know. It's my integrity, the way I show you that I will do things in righteousness. It's my thoughfulness, the way I comfort you when you are hurt, encourage you when you are strong, help you when you are weak and motivate you to do the things you never thought possible. It's my sense of humor, the way I bring out the silliness in you and the way I make you laugh. It's my loyalty, that special way I make you feel like you are the only man alive when I am with you. So YES, I am beautiful! I have the kind of beauty that does not fade with age or change with trends. I see you looking, trying desperately to figure out why you are so attracted to me. Men, allow me to let you in on the secret of understanding my beauty. Look at me with your heart first... then look at me with your eyes. Now AIN'T I THE FINEST WOMAN YOU HAVE EVER SEEN?
