Beauty

I don’t feel very beautiful. What does God consider beautiful?

God’s Response

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. 1 Peter 3:4

Loyalty makes a person attractive. Proverbs 19:22

People judge by outward appearance, but the LORD looks at a person’s thoughts and intentions. 1 Samuel 16:7

Some of us are more beautiful than others; that’s a fact of life on this earth. Fortunately, God’s definition of beauty is inside out from ours. He makes it clear that the beauty that matters most is not based on the appearance of our body or face, but on the condition of our heart. In this world, those with beautiful looks often have an advantage, but in the world to come, those with beautiful hearts will be seen as the pinnacle of God’s creation. The more your heart reflects the beauty of God’s character now, the more beautiful you are becoming for life in God’s eternal kingdom. Such inner beauty will not go unnoticed here on earth, either!

God’s Promise

Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the LORD will be greatly praised. Proverbs 31:30
