Shalom woman of God and beloved and precious, You precious pearl, You are beautiful… You are His bride…

had an invitation card for a shoe store here in my area in the mailbox … the front was this saying

If I ever let my head hang down, then only to admire my shoes !

There is a wonderful promise in the bible that fits this:

The Messiah reveals his mission in the book of Isaiah 61

1 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,
Because the Lord has anointed and commissioned me
To bring good news to the humble and afflicted;
He has sent me to bind up [the wounds of] the brokenhearted,
To proclaim release [from confinement and condemnation] to the [physical and spiritual] captives
And freedom to prisoners,
2 To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord,
And the day of vengeance and retribution of our God,
To comfort all who mourn,
3 To grant to those who mourn in Zion the following:
To give them a turban instead of dust [on their heads, a sign of mourning],
The oil of joy instead of mourning,
The garment [expressive] of praise instead of a disheartened spirit.
So they will be called the trees of righteousness [strong and magnificent, distinguished for integrity, justice, and right standing with God],
The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.

AMP version

Much blessing wishes you Sabine … may the Lord fill your mouth with laughter and give you ever lasting joy … may the Lord expel all dark thoughts and everything that wants to depress and grieve you may flee …
