Thy beauty... was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord God.
SA 149:4{ZE 16:14{Look at a poor little colorless drop of water, hanging weakly on a blade of grass. It is not beautiful at all; why should you stop to look at it? Stay till the sun has risen, and now look. It is sparkling like a diamond; and if you look at it from another side, it will be glowing like a ruby, and presently gleaming like an emerald. The poor little drop has become one of the brightest and loveliest things you ever saw. But is it its own brightness and beauty? No! If it slipped down to the ground out of the sunshine, it would be only a poor little dirty drop of water. So, if the Sun of Righteousness, the glorious and lovely Savior, shines upon you, a little ray of His own brightness and beauty will be seen upon you. Sometimes we can see by the happy light on a face that the Sun is shining there; but if the Sun is really shining, there are sure to be some of the beautiful rays of holiness, love, joy, peace, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, making the life, even your life, very lovely.
Jesus, Lord, I come to Thee, Thou hast said I may;
Tell me what my life should be, take my sins away.
Jesus, Lord, I learn of Thee, in Thy Word divine;
Every promise there I see, may I call it mine!
