As I Am in My Soul, So I Will Shine to the World
May 22, 1994 At Notre Dame Conference
R. As I am in this world, I must be as He wants me to be. When I dress, I must dress to please Him, not to draw attention to myself and my body, not to make myself a luring instrument, but to be dressed as the precious creation of God the Father. He has created me with such specialness. I am the way He wants me. I do not have to change my exterior or improve on the beauty He has given me. Beauty comes from within. Beauty comes from the love of God that shines from my face. Beauty is not beheld by my hair color or color of my lips. Beauty is seen in the eyes that reflect the soul.
Oh, how is my soul? How is my heart? My body is perfect. It was created by God the Father. I may have worn it for some years, but He loves me as I am. I must accept myself as I am and love myself as I am. My job is to wear the clothes of God the Father. He has adorned me perfectly well. I must work on my interior, not my exterior. That is what shows the real beauty! The body reflects the person within. So, as I am in my soul, I will shine to the world.
Lord, let me let go of my attachments to make my body my primary focus and focus on the heart and the things of the soul.
Jesus, Jesus, I love Thee!
