There is a desire in all mother's hearts for beauty in their children, not outward only, but a beauty that goes deep into the heart. Where does this beauty that transcends all come from? More than likely from the places deep in the heart that have suffered. A mother who loves and sacrifices greatly for her children and has carried the burden as a single mother, the woman who cares deeply for the needs and hurts of others because she has walked there and the overwhelming sorrow of loss that has pushed her further up and further in with the God who created her. A life void of hardships may bring pleasure here, but it is the hardships that form that eternal weight of glory that is promised and makes a person shine.
Kimberly is shining, bright and glorious in the deep places of her heart. Most likely when she shines she believes she is not, but oh how great is the view of the God she loves. She is beautiful.
The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.
Zephaniah 3:9
