Sisters for Yah - Poetry, etc...

Have you ever wondered what Yahweh considers beautiful? One can only look at creation and conclude that indeed beauty is important to Yahweh. Many of us have gazed with awe at a majestic mountainside or sat silently observing birds sing their sweet songs on a warm sunny day. But there is more to it than just physical beauty. Take a look at the following scriptures:

Loyalty makes a person attractive. And it is better to be poor than dishonest, Proverbs 19:22 (NLT).

You should be known for the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to Yahweh, 1 Peter 3:4.

The more we reflect Yahweh and His righteousness, the more we radiate His beauty. There is nothing more beautiful than our perfect Heavenly Father!

The words we speak can also be either ugly or beautiful in Yahweh’s eyes. In Proverbs 15: 26, we find, “Yahweh despises the thoughts of the wicked, but delights in pure words.” Do you make a conscious effort to keep your words pure? Or do you snap at your children or spouse in anger? There really is wisdom in the old saying, “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.”

In Proverbs 25:11, we read, “Timely advice is as lovely as golden apples in a basket.” In other words, speaking beautiful words of wisdom to those who need it are the fruit of righteous thoughts and character.

Our actions can also be either ugly or beautiful. In 1 Timothy 2: 10, we are reminded that, “Women who claim to be devoted to Yahweh should make themselves attractive by the good things they do.” This does not mean, of course , that you should neglect your outward appearance. Just don’t make your physical looks a top priority. Consider also the following in Proverbs 31:30, “Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears Yahweh will be greatly praised.” This is a powerful promise indeed!

So how can you make yourself beautiful without spending money on cosmetics and expensive beauty supplies? Smile more often. A smile can make an otherwise plain face warm and attractive. Speak gently and tenderly to those you love. And speak politely to those you come in contact with in the world. Yahweh’s people have often been complimented on their exemplary character by unbelievers.

In restaurants, don’t make a scene if the service is not up to your standards. It is quite a disgrace for a follower of Yahweh to pray at a table in a restaurant in clear view of others, then make themselves a nuisance to the waiters and management. Always put your best foot forward in all situations. Let Yahweh be our Guide and Yahshua our example.
