My Friends,

“You look mahvelous” was the tag line of Billy Crystal’s Fernando character on SNL.  What made that bit funny, is what often lends humor, it’s partially true: we do long to look mahvelous. 

I mean honestly, who doesn’t want to look mahvelous  I do not wear makeup everyday and l often arrive at my destination with wet hair. But just because I don’t spend an inordinate amount of time trying to beautify on a daily basis, the truth is I want to look mahvelous just as much as Fernando or anybody else. 

But did you know that the Bible has a prescription for looking mahvelous?

Psalm 34:5 says, “Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed” (ESV). 

I got my toes done this week, and I bought new eyeliner. I got a cute new jean jacket too. But the best thing I can do to look radiant is to gaze at my Savior. Nothing else is required — just beholding Him.  May I do so daily. If I can reflect an infinitesimal fraction of His glory, I’ll look mahvelous, darling. 

And so will you! 

Have a fabulous, even mahvelous, week!

Warmly,

Kristie
