"What does beauty mean to you?"
"Identity" by Lecrae
"Got her hair done, toes and nails
is that her? Well it's hard to tell
cause she's so caked up in so much make up
It's like she's tryna make up for what she ain't
but she's a saint but so confused
cause she's been rejected by all these dudes
they tell her on a scale of 10 she's a two
but that ain't true if she only knew
In Christ she is loved she secure and accepted
never be rejected by God who's elected her
Her beauty is her Godliness
And she ain't gotta flaunt it cause it's obvious"

Beauty flows from the truly beautiful one. Contrary to what our culture screams at us, beauty is not external attributes, but the inward transformation that stems from God's grace. I believe the most beautiful and precious life ever lived is that of Jesus Christ. To be beautiful is to be like Him. To be beautiful is to love all people, serve all people, to demonstrate joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, and faithfulness. For me beauty will be a life long journey as I walk with Christ and He changes and molds me.
I think you defined beauty really well! Can't wait to follow along on this project :)
