I Peter 3:3-4
3Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. 4Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.
When I was younger I wasn't very pretty. After a while I got use to that fact that I wasn't drop dead gorgeous and was satisfied to be that way. In my last year of high school some thing happened and I suddenly got quite beautiful. When that happened I discovered a new kind of power. The power to attract men. This was quite a thrilling and rewarding experience; however, the Lord convicted my heart.
He showed me that trying to be beautiful just receive earthly praise is so underrated. What I really want in life is to known for serving to Lord faithfully. This isn't always the first and foremost desire of my heart, but if the Lord is the center of my life as He should be I am not focusing on me. I am focusing on my Savior.
May I encourage my sisters in Christ to remember who they are in God's eyes and not the eyes of men.
Proverbs 31:30
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
