What Makes A Woman Beautiful?
By Edna Ho, 21, Malaysia
It’s not about you having big eyes or small eyes.
It’s not about your face shape—be it oval, round or square.
It’s not about you having a sharp nose or a flat nose.
It’s not about you having flawless skin or a pimpled face.
It’s not about your skin color, whether you’re dark or fair.
It’s not about your height, whether you’re tall or short.
It’s not about you being slim or plump.
It’s not about your face shape—be it oval, round or square.
It’s not about you having a sharp nose or a flat nose.
It’s not about you having flawless skin or a pimpled face.
It’s not about your skin color, whether you’re dark or fair.
It’s not about your height, whether you’re tall or short.
It’s not about you being slim or plump.
And mind you, a lot of us believe what the world perceives as beautiful to be true. We think that pretty girls must have flawless skin, silky long hair, big eyes, perfect eyebrows, an oval face, a sharp nose, fair, tall, and slim.
No, a woman is beautiful when after the mishaps and past failures is able to still rest in God, trusting that she is in the wonderful hands of the God Almighty. As Stasi Eldredge in her book Your Captivating Heart put it, “A beautiful woman is one who is at rest.” She doesn’t compare herself with others as to who is better or prettier. She is at peace, because she knows that she is the Lord’s beloved daughter.
You are beautiful, because you are “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14). No matter how you feel and no matter what others tell you, God says, “You are my precious daughter.”
