Brooke Hoffman: Beautify Me Series Introduction

I’m finally doing it…I’m starting my blog!! I hope you enjoy this post!! I want to kick things off with a series on my blog’s central theme: becoming more beautiful by becoming more Christ-like!

The series Beautify Me Lord, is all about inviting Christ deeper into our hearts so we can know him more closely, see the truth about his character, and be transformed by that truth into a truly beautiful person for his kingdom purposes!

Beautify me Lord, takes a look at standards of beauty from a worldly sense as well as looking at how beauty is perceived in the eyes of our God! The series seeks to empower women to cultivate true beauty that honors God; the kind of beauty that cannot be lost with age, cannot slip away on a bad hair day, and is unchanging despite what others say!

This blog and this series in particular are especially dear to me because as a woman I know what it is like to want to feel beautiful, valuable, and confident. Beautify Me Lord is so special to my heart because as a former model and lover of all things fashionable, girly, and beautiful, I know how easy it is to get swept up in the worldly standards of beauty. Who you’re wearing, being on trend, what people think of you, how beautiful you are perceived to be can easily become more important than what truly matters; being beauties in the eyes of God! This series seeks to bring to our attention the truth in scripture; that true beauty comes from within and, that exterior beauty and looking our best is just the icing on the cake!

The series Beautify Me Lord takes us through a look at 5 character qualities of Christ, and challenges us to open our hearts to him; to know him more fully by dwelling on the beautiful person that he is! It guides us through a study on the character of Jesus Christ and shows us the how to’s on developing Christ like qualities in ourselves! We will look deeply at the character and beauty of Jesus; that we might allow who he truly is to saturate our souls; transforming us into his likeness, so we can grow in our faith, confidence, character, and relationships! I am excited to journey together to learn more about Christ, and seek out his truth, about becoming a true beauty!

But what is True Beauty? How can we become beautiful in the sight of God? How can we use beauty to point others to Christ? How can we become the best versions of ourselves to make a difference for God’s Kingdom? Beautify Me Lord seeks to shine some light on the truth about real beauty, give us insight into what God says about it in scripture, and to share with us the tools to become undeniably, unchangeably, radiantly, BEAUTIFUL women of God!!

1 Samuel 16:7 a “God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

Tune in tomorrow for our 1^st Character quality post!

Confidence: Valuing others and valuing me!!
