This question arose in CG two weeks ago - "list the unpleasant experiences and difficult areas in your life for which you have not thanked God."
I thought that I had broken free from most of my bondages since I completed Neil Anderson's Bondage Breaker several years back. God is never done with us. Until the day we see Him face to face, we shall see Him as He is. If not, He is ever continually moulding us with various trials and situations.
I have not thanked God for my looks.
It was not until this past Thursday that I realized that my self-confidence is only a facade that is so temporal and fragile. I lost it the moment I boarded the train.
I thank God for providing this experience to assure me of His word in Proverbs 31:30, "Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised."
God's choice is obvious. He values the heart of a woman more than her appearance. But... but, Lord...
I have yet to thank God for this matter. It is hard. God will definitely bring it up again. If I place my self-worth of how I look, I will continue to struggle with myself for the rest of my life.
