On Being Beautiful...

 What's your Beauty-secret?

How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, 

who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, 

who proclaim salvation, 

who say to Zion, "Your God reigns!"

Isa.52:7

Be the beauty; Not for sake of duty’s strict and cheerless hue

But because love bids us shine for Jesus in all that we do

Be the smile, the second miler; be the kind word, helping hand

Be the cup-of-listening server; be a Son-sparkle on sand

Be the arm around a shoulder; be a bedside shining star

Be the flower of the hour by blooming right where you are

Be the person you would wish for when the way of life is hard

Be God’s mercy and compassion; Be the beauty of the Lord
