Since I have used this Bible passage as an example of how the Lord God has positively influenced my overeating, this doesn't necessarily reflect the whole meaning of the verse. Debbie

If you REALLY want to read how Christ helped me throughout this weight loss and even when I was tempted, you should read some of the 100's of previous posts on https://christianovereaterssupport.blogspot.com/

What Is Beauty?

Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined. Psalm 50:2

This is in contrast to my previous post about the man who couldn't get out of the store fast enough when he saw that I wasn't wearing any makeup. Is beauty something that can be identified by our size? Are we more beautiful to God when we are super small size? Fortunately for me, Christ didn't give His life for me to be slim and trim.

Am I more beautiful to God when I'm dressed in trendy clothes? Fortunately for me, Christ didn't give His life for me to be trendy. Am I more beautiful to God when others admire my physical beauty? Fortunately for me, Christ didn't give His life for me to be physically beautiful.

So, how can I be beautiful to Christ. Although I can't tell you that Christ evaluates us in any forms of physical beauty, but I think He admires the beauty in our actions when we stand up for those who are oppressed. I think Christ admires the beauty in giving to others out of our need rather than out of our excess, I think Christ admires the beauty in serving others selflessly and not secretly waiting in the wings for a pat on the back. I think Christ admires the beauty in any time we take the risks to share our faith in Him with others even though we are afraid of what others might think. Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined. Psalm 50:2

Since I am applying these Bible Verses to my life, it may not convey the whole meaning of the verses. Debbie
