In a world of shallow encounters, and impersonal criticism and competition it is important to cling to words of affirmation and encouragement. It is essential to bathe and cleanse yourself in lovely thoughts as you would a warm shower and your finest lotions. Collected below are affirming words inspired by God’s Word – The Bible.
Beauty is putting trust in God. 1 Peter 3:5. This is how the holy women of old made themselves beautiful. They put their trust in God and accepted authority. New Living Translation.
I live with purity and reverence in my life. I lead others to Christ Jesus with my life and behavior. My beauty comes from within. I am strong and gentle. I am courageous and wise. I am of great worth to God. I do what is right; I am free from fear. 1 Peter 3:5. If any do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by your behavior and see the purity and reverence of your lives. Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves. They submit themselves to authority, do what is right, and do not give way to fear. New Living Translation.

For the desolate woman now has more children than the woman who lives with her husband,” says the LORD. New Living Translation.
I please the Lord. 1 Corinthians 7:34. A woman who is no longer married or has never been married can be devoted to the Lord and holy in body and in spirit. But a married woman has to think about her earthly responsibilities and how to please her husband. New Living Translation.
