She's Got the Look

She's Got the Look, 12x12, oil on canvas

~The young woman touches the brim of her hat appreciating style and beauty. Yet she is earthy and grounded, walking barefoot on the dusty road  hugging her freshly picked daisies. She wants to shine brightly in this troubled world and isn't going to dim down to appease others. Instead, she invites all to shine with her. She’s authentic and true. She reminds herself every day that she’s loved beyond her understanding and has things she must do which were planned for her long, long ago. Step by step, as she follows Christ, she is confident in His promise, “I will never leave you or forsake you.” She’s “got the look”, from deep inside her soul.

And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. - Ephesians 3:18

For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. - Ephesians 2:10

In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. - Matthew 5:16
