True Beauty


Everywhere you look there are advertisements for things to make you look better; weight loss supliments, plastic surgeries, special make up and clothes. Our society is so focused on outward appearance! No wonder so many women have confidence issues!

I am sure you have heard the phrase "True beauty comes from the inside", but did you know that this is also a biblical principal? God does not even look at us the way that we look at ourselves:

1 Samuel 16:7 - "The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."

Peter 3:4 You should be known for the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God.

So the next time you are standing in front of the mirror, take a minute to examine your heart instead of your hair. Do you have that gentle and quiet spirit or have you been spreading rumors and talking badly about people behind their backs?
