Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, 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. 1 Peter 3:3-4
POEM: NEVER TRUST A MIRROR, by Erin Hanson
Never trust a mirror,
For the mirror always lies,
It makes you think that all your worth,
Can be seen from the outside.
Never trust a mirror,
It only shows you skin deep,
You can't see how your eyelids flutter,
When you're drifting off to sleep,
It doesn't show you what He sees,
When you're only being you,
Or how your eyes just light up,
When you're loving what you do,
It doesn't capture when you're smiling,
Where no one else can see,
And your reflection cannot tell you,
Everything you mean to Me,
Never trust a mirror,
For it only shows your skin,
And if you think that it dictates your worth,
It's time you looked within.
Praise & Prayer to have unfading beauty
Thank You, loving Father, for teaching me that inner beauty is what matters in Your eyes. It's Your unfading beautifulness, Lord Jesus, that my soul desires. I ask You to please form a gentle and quiet spirit in me, which is of great worth in God’s sight. Holy Spirit, as I get older and my wrinkles increase, please train me to focus more on the inside rather than the outside, which requires lots of makeup and expensive repairs. Help me this day to show forth the radiant and enduring beauty of Christ's impeccable character to my family and people in the marketplace through my acts of kindness and words of encouragement that deliver hope to the brokenhearted. I pray in Jesus' mighty name. Amen!
