Beautiful is the Hebrew yāpeh

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Psalm 139:14a
You are altogether beautiful, my darling. Song of Songs 4:7a
Let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands; yes, confirm the work of our hands. Psalm 90:17
Lift up the light of Your countenance upon us, O Lord! Psalm 4:6b

When we receive Jesus the Messiah, our Father God brings us into an eternal, intimate, covenant relationship with Himself by the Holy Spirit. He gives us names that describe our identity as those who have been born again into His family. They remain constant even though the clouds of our feelings, circumstances, weakness, grief, failure, and emotions may hide their reality. We have this hope as an anchor of our souls, a hope both sure and steadfast...(Hebrews 6:19)
The devotional on the back of the I am Beautiful Art Card:
I am Beautiful.
When we see October leaves transition from green to vibrant, fiery hues or gaze upon a dramatic, stormy sky, we say, “How beautiful!” When God looks at us as His children, man or woman, He declares, “How beautiful!” We are His painting, His masterpiece, His beautiful bride!
David declared, “How precious also are Your thoughts unto me, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand. When I awake, I am still with You.” Psalm 139:17-18 David wrote these words in a song that praised God for His intimate knowledge of all his ways.
Many are God’s thoughts about us! He delights in the details of our uniqueness just as parents delight in watching their children blossom into their distinct personalities and giftings. We are free to focus away from our flaws and agree with God that we are beautiful! Shout it aloud each day!
Thank You, Lord, that Your Spirit fills me with Your beauty and comes through my beautiful uniqueness!
