I Wanna Sparkle!

“…Kept for Him that in me He may show forth some tiny sparkle of His light and beauty…”
~ Frances Havergal





This quote sums up where I am going be someday. I know that my Daddy continues to draw me to Himself that I may exude His glory. I am to be a demonstration of His love to everyone around me. Have you ever met those people that walk into the room and there is no way you can deny that they are walking in the Light. The presence of the Father surrounds them wherever they go. I am going to be that someday. I'm past saying "I want to get there someday." It has nothing to do with arrogance but I simply won't stop until I reach that level of beauty. He is demanding ROYALTY!!!


"Beauty puts a face on God. When we gaze at nature, at a loved one, at a work of art, our soul immediately recognizes and is drawn to the face of God." ~Margaret Brownley


I know that the Lord has put things in me to help other people. I can minister to a broken girl and tell her how much her Daddy loves her but more so than that I shouldn't have to say a word. I want people to look at me and only see the radiance of my Father. It's not about, "Oh Kaylee? Yeah, she's a nice girl" it needs to be a "Kaylee? Wow, that girl carries the glory of God with her everywhere! I KNOW I am loved because she is living proof!" I don't want people to be drawn to me or my personality. I want to draw people to the face of God.


"Beauty is one of the rare things that do not lead to doubt of God."~Jean Anouilh

That's right, even the most evil being can't deny God when he/she is faced with true beauty. It is an expression of Him. It IS Him!!!




"Real strength never impairs beauty or harmony, but it often bestows it; and in everything imposingly beautiful, strength has much to do with the magic."~Herman Melville


I simply LOVE that quote. Many people perceive strength as being abrupt, harsh, or bold. It goes hand in hand with beauty. Real beauty isn't weak or passive. It is courageous, constant, and unwavering. It is STRONG! It really does encompass every aspect of the Father.


"Character contributes to beauty. It fortifies a woman as her youth fades. A mode of conduct, a standard of courage, discipline, fortitude and integrity can do a great deal to make a woman beautiful."~Jacqueline Bisset






My prayer is that as I would become a woman that my Daddy can "show forth a tiny sparkle of His light and beauty"I want to carry His heart and everyone that sees me would smell His fragrance and be touched with His glory...
