God Gave Us The Works
It’s every little girl’s dream–a princess party. We took it one step further: We made it a princess spa party.
- Eight little girls.
- Giggling.
- Primping.
- Getting royal treatment.
A hostess took their name, asked what spa services they desired–hair, nails, makeup, or the works. Of course, each little girl asked for the works. While they waited for their names to be called, they enjoyed mini scones with various jams, jellies, and preserves.
We took them back into the spa room three at a time.
- Two hair stations.
- A makeup station.
- And a manicure station.
My station? Hair!
“So, what is the occasion?”
“We’re going to a princess party. We want to look beautiful.”
“Look beautiful?”
“Yes.”
Look beautiful.
I don’t know about you, but I’m 35, and I want to look beautiful. Every little girl wants to look beautiful.
As I combed each girl’s long locks, it occurred to me: These girls don’t need to look beautiful. They are beautiful.
Even before I started working on them, they were beautiful.
- No makeup.
- No manicured nails.
- No fancy hairdos.
I looked each of them in their eyes when they came to my station. “You are beautiful.”
Dear one, you too are beautiful. I am beautiful. We are all beautiful in our Father’s eyes. We are His most precious possession (Zechariah 2:8), His masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10). He alone created our inner beings and knit us together in our mothers’ wombs. We are amazingly and miraculously made (Psalm 139: 13-18).
We don’t need a lot of makeup, perfectly manicured nails, and fancy hairdos to be beautiful–although those things are nice from time to time–even for little girls.
Our beauty comes from within. It comes from Him.
God gave us the works!
Come alongside…What have you used to make you look beautiful? Do you believe you are beautiful? Who needs to hear that they, too, are beautiful? Will you share this with them today?
