Show Off His Beauty With Your Body

"The reason you have a body is to make the beauty of Christ known . . . The beauty of Jesus Christ was not the beauty of looks, it was the beauty of love. The beauty of Jesus Christ was the beauty of sacrifice, not the beauty of skin. Where is beauty in God’s eyes? And it isn’t on your skin. It isn’t whether you’re having a bad hair day. It isn’t on whether your hips are too broad or your muscles are not there. It’s just not there! You’re gonna die real soon, and that’s gonna mean ZERO on your death bed! And everything that matters to you will be: - have I used the little arms that I have, have I used the shape that I have to love people, to get my arms around people, to take things to people when they need them . . . Women and men have bodies to give evidence by the way you use your bodies that Jesus is your treasure."
