Does the Lord love us when we fail him? Love us when we're unlovable? When others reject us, is God's love enough? Yes, yes, and positively yes! Our ancient sisters from Genesis demonstrate how much God loves his chosen daughters and why his righteousness alone makes us flawless: "without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless" (Ephesians 5:25-27).Join author Liz Curtis Higgs as she takes a closer look at Genesis, carefully polishing each verse until the truth is revealed: we're all flawed women loved by a flawless God.

From her book, Do You Think I'm Beautiful, Angela compares the life of a woman to the story of Cinderella. So many women, she says, believe they will never be beautiful enough or confident enough for the prince to whirl them onto the dance floor at the ball. These women simply put on their best and remain content to watch from the edge of the dance floor. But our prince, the one who finds us breathtaking, has something different in mind. He longs for each of us to know that we are noticed, known, and cherished. But far away from the land of fairytales, many women have trouble making the connection.
"A lot of women have head knowledge. They know so much. They've been to the Bible studies. They know about transformation and freedom, but they can't believe it's really true for them," Angela explains. "They're content to get just enough to make it to heaven. But for some reason, can't put on the application that goes into that deep place that allows them to live."
But, she insists, "I know that I know, this is not the life God has intended for us."
