A Beautiful woman is a woman who
fears God. She has an opportunity to be a great influencer at home, at work,
and in society. The glaring beauty of her spirit clothes her with strength
and dignity and inspires her to speak with wisdom and faithful instruction
(Proverbs 31:26).
This woman understands that physical
beauty is of some value, but, she also knows that godliness has value for all things. She discerns that; charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears
the Lord is to be praised (Proverbs 31:30). And because she is full of wisdom,
she pursues God with every ligament within her being.
On the contrary, a woman who
does not know God trusts in her own wisdom and understanding, and chases after
the wind in pursuit of beauty. Instead of pursuing the purity, radiance and
selfless nobility of Christ-centeredness, she pursues a sensual standard of
pop-culture, conforming to the patterns of this world.
We have placed a high degree
of importance on physical appearance. We are obsessed with physical beauty,
and, unfortunately, place a high emphasis on physical beauty and neglect the most
crucial element of a woman’s beauty, which is to fear God and to hate sin.
We are all beautiful—God
looked at what Eve and said she was perfect. We were designed to be attractive,
and Adam confirmed this. However, the physical side of beauty is just a small
part of what makes a woman truly beautiful.
Beauty is an inside job. True
beauty is internal. It is not anchored on outward adornment, such as elaborate
hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes, but it springs from
the inside, it is the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of
great worth in God’s sight (1 Peter 3:3-4). This beauty is manifested in terms
of character rather than appearance.
A beautiful woman teaches
her heart and her children to fear God. Her soul is completely surrendered to and
consumed by Jesus Christ, and her life is eagerly poured out for His sake. This
woman retains Honor
I hope that you’re encouraged
to take your inner beauty more seriously. Whether we chase after fashion trends
or not, and whether we get a facebeat or remain plain-Jane is a personal
choice. God chose us to be Holy (Ephesians 4:1) – and not (externally)
beautiful.
Don’t just be a pretty face!!!!!
