" beauty to unveil"
Little girls love feeling beuatiful. Remember wearing mommies shoes or makeup. Or jewelry. Remember twirling skirts? Most girls go through a season where they will NOT wear anything that does not twirl. I went through this phase. Rylie is now going through a only skirts and dresses season that has lasted almost 2 months now.
We want to. Long to know and be told we are lovely. That's our question " are we lovely?" think of your wedding or a dance. A special evening with friends. How important is the dress. Or do you want to feel like a princess. The desire to be beautiful is an ageless longing.
However, the desire to be beautiful has caused many women untold grief ( how many diets hve you tried) countless tears have been shed and hearts broken in it's pursuit. ( however. For mr this is a little off with doing th study of Daniel and learning about the whole image building in Babylon thing).
In spite of all the pain and distress that beauty has caused us as women, the desire remAins. Many of us have hardened our heArts to this desire. The desire to be the Beauty. It's not just the desire for N outward beauty. But more a desire to be captivating in the depths oh WHO YOU ARE. Cinderella is beautiful yes but she is also good. The outward beauty is nothing without the inner. Esther is the most beautiful woman in the land. But it is her bravery and her cunning. Good heart that moves the king to spare her people. We want beauty that can be seen; beauty that can be felt ; beauty that affects others; a beauty all our own to unveil.
" the heart of a man"
There are three core desires in the heart if evey man. For starter. Every man wants a battle to fight. It's a boys and weapens thing. Look at the movies. Gladiator. 300. Top gun. Men are made for battle.
Men also long for adventure. They live to climb and jump an see how fast they can ride their hikes. Adventure is a deep longing in every mans heart. It requires something of us. Puts to the test. We may fear it but we yearn for it to discover that we have what it takes.
FinLly every man longs for a Beauty to rescue. Where would robin hood be without Marian? It's not that men need a battle it's that they also need someone to fight for. There is nothing that inspires a man to courage so much as the woman ge loves. This is not to say that women are helpless and can't live her life without a man. But that men long to offer their strength on behalf of a woman.
Can you see that both man and womb desires are meant to fit perfectly together. A woman in the presencebof a good man. Loves to be a woman. " his strength allows her feminine heart to fourish. His pursuit draws out her beauty. And a man in the presence of a real woman likes being a man. Her beauty arouses him to play the man. It draws at his strength. She inspires him to be a hero.
On the inside women lose themselves in a fantasy world or cheap novels. Or give our selves over to addictions to numb the ache of our hearts.
A journey towards restoration and release ofthe woman you always longed to be. It's about discovering who you already are as a woman. A woman who was made for romance. Made to play an irreplaceable role in a shared adventure. The woman God had in mind when he made Eve. And when he made you. Glorious. Powerful. And captivating
