SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL: CHRISTIAN WOMEN’S RETREAT THEME
God makes something beautiful out of all of us. We are his children and He loves us.
Even though we may not feel beautiful at times in our lives, it is important that we are reminded of those facts daily. In Him and through Him, we are beautiful.
Staying close to our Christian friends, through our day-to-day activities as well as attending retreats such as these, are wonderful ways to achieve that goal.
SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL SCRIPTURES
1 Peter 3:3-4 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.
Ephesians 2:10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
