FJWL_01:145
         (Dad:) This thing about not feeling beautiful and feeling like you're ugly, oh my! If you girls could only understand how the Lord looks at you and what real beauty is all about! He looks at you, and we Here all look at you, and see such radiant beauty--the beauty of your heart and soul and spirit! That's what real beauty is--not that lump of flesh that you are going to leave behind one of these days.
         Jesus looks at all those big tests and trials you had to go through with those afflictions, and all those big battles you had to fight and win, and He is so proud of you! You are one of His precious rare and special jewels, and He is polishing you up extra special. Even though it is difficult, you're coming through with a real sparkle and beauty! He's making you an even more beautiful and shining jewel, and He's not done yet!
         If you could just see yourself like the Lord sees you, and how beautiful you are to Him, and what beauty He sees when He looks at you, it would change your perspective on things greatly!
