Beauty

[1 Chr. 16:29] Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness


I know I may have already written a little bit about beauty and such, but this thought is really pressing on me this morning. So many times do us (girls) think that we can't leave the house without curled hair, makeup, etc. I am not bashing makeup so don't take it that way, however, I am saying that we don't have to conform ourselves to society based on their idea of beautiful. The most beautiful person you can be is YOU. God made you just the way He wanted. The only perfecting that He expects from you is your heart. If you clean up your heart, the outer beauty will shine. It won't be the beauty that society wants, though. A model can't even get the beauty that society wants. A computer takes a model and generates her a little bit until she is "perfect". Watch this video at how a nice young girl gets transformed and computer generated to being "magazine material". Don't be deceived like she was. Be yourself. Perfect your heart in the beauty of holiness. 

Guys do the same thing. They base their "physical attraction" on what the world sees and forgets about the heart sometimes. Let us all be wary of the traps that loom about and not fall into this misconception. 


Lord, help us to understand that society is nothing compared to You and Your standard. Let us be beautiful in Your sight and forget what anyone else thinks.
