A Woman Of Significance: Knowing Your Identity In God Sample

True Beauty

God is a genius at everything that He does, and He fully expressed His indescribable brilliance when He created you! He created you with three distinct and separate parts—a body, a spirit, and a soul. Each of these amazing facets of our being is significant.

Yet your body is only your packaging, my friend. Your body does not define you, and it does not determine your destiny or your value. The world might base its judgment of you upon your facial features and your body, but that’s because it looks only at the outward appearance. The world doesn’t see what God sees!

Your spirit is the part of you that reflects the DNA of God, and it is where His blessing is imparted to your extraordinary life. Your spirit is the aspect of you that hears the voice of God and responds willingly to Him. Your spirit is the component of your makeup where the kingdom of God is established, where the fruits of the Spirit are cultivated, and where you walk by faith and not by sight. Your spirit should be the most powerful part of your makeup as you travel through life.

The third part of your God-engineered makeup is your soul, which is comprised of your mind, will, and emotions. Your soul is empty until you fill it with something. From the beginning of time, it was always God’s plan that you would fill up your soul with Him! It was always His intention that you, who have been made in His divine image, would choose intimacy with Him over intimacy with the world. It was also His heart’s desire that you would fill up the hollow places in your soul with all that He has to offer.

True beauty radiates from a woman’s soul. The sad news of our existence is that we have filled up our souls with the values of a culture whose priority is not God and His Word, and we have believed the outrageous lie that God isn’t enough. We have turned to clothes, men, bank balances, entertainment, and addictions to fill up the empty places in our hearts. You will never understand how God sees you, see the real you, or become the genuine you if you foolishly try to fill your soul with trash rather than with treasure.

God gave you a soul so that you would be a woman who walks in divine destiny and confident identity. God gave you a soul so that you could lavishly spread joy, hope, peace, and righteousness in your world. God gave you a soul that flourishes only when you spend time with Him. Your loveliness was never meant to be defined by your outward appearance; your true beauty was always meant to be a reflection of your relationship with your Father.
