Here is another letter to you from one of my closest friends. He has given me some of the best advice I've ever received and been around to lift me up through very rough times. He is such an incredible man of God, and I believe his words are so true. See ladies, there are good men in this world. Don't ever settle for anything less. Read the letter he wrote to you and spend a little time thinking on it.
My sisters in Christ,
What does it mean to be beautiful you ask? Every single woman on the face of this earth is beautiful, no questions asked. The simple yet awe-inspiring fact that you are one of God’s children is profound enough proof for you to be affirmed that you are more beautiful than even the most serene starry night, the most majestic sunrise viewed from the top of mountains, or the most soothing and relaxing ocean breeze felt from the shore of the beach as you have your feet nestled in the sand. God is intimately in love with you, and you are more beautiful than anything of this world because He created you in His own image and likeness.
Faith and trust in God is infinitely more beautiful than any exterior quality of woman. When you stand before Our Lord at the gates of heaven, what purpose will external beauty have to God if you did not live a life characterized solely by your devotion to Him? I am inspired to become a better man and a better Catholic (for my sisters in Christ) when I see a woman earnestly praying to Our Lord in the pews after mass. I want to be united in marriage one day with a woman who loves God more than she loves me.
Women who seek to live a life of self-giving love have so many blessings and gifts to give to this world. I adore women who genuinely care for others- especially those people who are afflicted by pain, suffering, and poverty- more than they care for themselves.
A woman’s devotion to Our Lord and a yearning to know Him and love Him more each day of her life is a far more attractive attribute than any physical quality a woman could be given from their birth. A healthy interior life consists of praying, giving help to those in need, and putting to death your desires each day, so that God’s will for you may be unraveled in your life. A woman who possesses a firm grasp on her interior life is an inspiration for her fellow brothers in Christ.
Your brothers in Christ delight in seeing you strive for holiness. If you are seeking beauty, look no further women, for you already possess it. When the Holy Spirit is closely intertwined into a woman’s life, her elegance speaks volumes. God made you beautiful just the way you are.
Love,
