When babies are young they cry at the smallest things; their world is so small that it's quite impossible for them to see the big picture, to put things into perspective. As they grow up, though, a parent tells them "yes, this hurts now, but it's going to get better. You'll be alright."
This is me! Emotionally! Spiritually! I am the baby. Young, growing, etc. Crying at the smallest thing. Worrying, fretting if anything questions my security.
And there's nothing wrong with that, right?
No, there isn't. It's just a part of the process of growing up. Because when you get older, there's a retrospect to things that tells you, "yeah, you know what? Everything worked out. I don't know what I got so fussed about."
Does that mean maturity is revealed by retrospection? Not necessarily, I don't think, but part of maturity is seeing the past, present, and future. Having hope.
'Captivating' says this:
"Unveiling our beauty just means revealing our feminine hearts. It's scary, for sure. That is why it is our greatest expression of faith, because we are going to have to trust Jesus -- really trust him. We'll have to trust him that we have a beauty, that what he has said of us is true. And we'll have to trust him with how it goes when we offer it, because that is out of our control. We'll have to trust him when it hurts, and we'll have to trust him when we are finally seen and enjoyed. That's why unveiling our beauty is how we live by faith.
Unveiling our beauty is the greatest expression of hope."
