"Beautiful for me"

Do any of you hear a song you like, it's always playing in your mind, maybe you buy the cd for that song, or download the mp3 and then you listen to it until it's totally memorized and you're about sick of it? Well, that's how I am with music. Lately the song "Beautiful for me" by Nichole Nordeman has been playing in my mind. Yes, it's from a veggie tales movie, but it is a great song with some very good lyrics and I l-o-v-e Nichole Nordeman!  Lyrics that speak to me:

If it’s true that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder    

I want my life and what’s inside to give him something to behold

I want a heart that’s captivating
I wanna hear my Father saying

Has anybody told you you’re beautiful?
You might agree if you could see what I see
‘Cuz everything about you is incredible
You should have seen me smile the day that I made you  

beautiful for me

Close your eyes
Look inside
Let me see the you that you’ve been trying to hide
Long ago, I made you so very beautiful
So I ought to know 

you’re beautiful

It's so easy for me to critique myself. I am getting older. Gaining weight. My skin is not clear, teeth are not perfect, etc. but I have to remember that a great God made me for his glory. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Even more so than the fact that God sees me as his beautiful creation I want my heart to be beautiful for him. I want him to look inside to the person that no one else can see and know that it's not make-up or diets or acne creams that make me beautiful, but it's the fact that I am his child, loving like him, forgiving like him, faithful like him.
