She said that during this time she thought her hair was exceptionally unattractive, so she was certain it was not her physical appearance. Her worship brought the presence of God into her life in a fresh way and others noticed.

"Make an altar of earth for me and sacrifice on it...I will come to you and bless you," God promised the Israelites (Exodus 20:24). Meeting with God and worshiping Him is the highest happiness and the highest objective we can have in life. No sacrifice is too great.

"I will meet you and speak to you; there also I will meet with the Israelites, and the place will be consecrated by my glory" (Exodus 29:42, 43).
