BEAUTY BEHIND THE VEIL.

-




It is said that "beauty lies in the face of the beholder," and I attest that it's true, but for me, I saw something beyond the kind of beauty people attribute to this adage.


Now, I shall write briefly about one whom I discovered to be an embodiment of true beauty. Note, "embodiment of true beauty!"

Having come a mile together, I was drawn by her gentle and lively spirit and seeing her more, I saw her outward beauty, really mesmerising and I couldn't deny but affirm that she's beauty itself to me. Her passionate eyes are like gentle doves.

Then I thought to myself, "There's more behind this outward elegance, I must unwrap this hidden yet outwardly manifesting gem in her", and this caused me to look more intently and I found it.

  HER REAL BEAUTY BEHIND THE VEIL.

When I looked at her, I saw her inner strength, so stately and strong. Her virtues and grace cause a thousand famous soldiers to surrender to her beauty. 

 I could have chosen any from among the vast multitude of royal ones. But one is my beloved—unrivaled in beauty, without equal, beyond compare, the perfect one, the favorite one. Others are caught up by her beauty, but I'm devoted to the fruit-life she bears.

Then I saw myself as one who saw a beautiful land to cultivate, but found treasures embedded in it even beyond the good soil. Believe me, I'll make sure I sell all I have to be a partaker of the treasures she bears, even beyond her outward beauty.


Now, young ones out there, listen and hear me well; "Charm can be deceptive and physical beauty will not last, but a woman who reveres the Eternal should be praised above all others". (Pro 31:30 - VOICE)


Beyond the outward beauty, look out for the inner beauty, which does not fade like the former. For the latter will keep you both glowing and relevant till old age.

Cultivate virtues into your inner being so that you can be a "safe" place for whoever you're destined to be with.

Beware of your choice of beauty because behind the veil, some had fallen into a trap that had been a regret and disrupted their sense of fulfilling purpose. BEWARE!


 Let your true beauty come from your inner personality, not a focus on the external. For lasting beauty comes from a gentle and peaceful spirit, which is precious in God’s sight and is much more important than the outward adornment of elaborate hair, jewelry, and fine clothes. (1 Pet 3:3)

PRESSING ON OR PRESSED DOWN.

   Life is full of "hila-hilos" — ups and downs, and we're responsible for whatever we make out of these seasons. We're encouraged when things are working out according to our plans and discouraged when things happen otherwise. These are normal responses to life situations, but the big matter is how we respond when things are odd.      In seasons when we have a lot against us; opposition, challenges, hard times and others, this is when our real person is put to the test and revealed, and we're the sole determinant of what the outcome of this season will be.   We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.  2 Corin 4:8,9(NKJV)      We can decide if in our troubles and hard times we will allow ourselves to be PRESSED DOWN — discouraged, disappointed and lose hope, or we PRESS ON — keep hope alive and use the rubble to build something be...

LIFE RACE.

Image
        A ll that surrounds the survival of humanity pushes us into running even without knowing what's setting us on a race, nor do we know how to run effectively, nor the end to which we're running. All we know is that we must run. Humanity in different phases of life is constantly being set in a race by different factors, which include: parents' desires, society, the educational system, and peer pressure, to mention but a few, and there seems to be no end to this frantic race.    Have you ever asked yourself these questions before:    • Why am I running?    • Where am I heading?    • How do I run effectively?    If you can't adequately provide substantial answers to those questions, you're at the mercy of the pressures posed to you by the factors listed above.           WHY AM I RUNNING?    I'm running because I know there's a vision before me. Write down this vision. Write it cle...

LEADING AND BLEEDING.

  L eadership is a great responsibility that only those who have given themselves to be rightly prepared are truly fit to take up the task; hence, it's not a position for frivolity. We know there are various leaders, but here my references are to true leaders. Leaders doesn't emerge over the night, they've gone through building processes over the years through which they've had series of tearing and mending, rejection and acceptance, discouragement and upliftment, tears and happiness, agony and relief, yet they kept the focus in their hearts knowing the scars at each checkpoint is a healing balm to those following.   Leaders are not self-centred, such that even in their downtime, they find courage to strengthen the feeble knees.  They go all out with so much compassion and intentionality, with no sense of gain to attend to as many in need of help. These are the ones whose paths are blood-marked, yet with consistency, have been proven by endurance and perseverance. They...
