Captivating by John and Stasi Eldredge says this and it is what I strive for:

"He loves it when we, gripped with doubt and fear that he will not be enough, turn the gaze of ours souls to him in hope... We can't wait until we feel safe to love and invite. In fact, if you feel a little scared, then you're probably on the right path. Of course it's scary. It's vulnerable. It's naked... He wants us to bear the weight of our lives and all that he has given to us, worked into us, and offer it to our world. To entice, allure, and invite others to Jesus by reflecting his glory in our lives... Women who are stunningly beautiful are women who have had their hearts enlarged by suffering. By saying 'yes' when the world says 'no.' By paying the high price of loving truly and honestly without demanding that they be loved in return."
