1 Peter 3:3-4
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.
Beauty
is a funny thing. Most people view beauty as the way you look on the
outside. We need to get past that way of thinking. Understand that
our Father does not create ugly. We are all beautiful, but God views
our beauty from the inside. So on the outside you have a few
wrinkles, pimples, or maybe a few stray hairs. On the inside that is
where your true beauty lies. That is also where God sees you best
and sees Himself in you.
The
devil is constantly calling us. He uses whatever he can to draw us
away from God. It is the world that allows such a way of thinking
that we can physically look at someone and decide if they are
beautiful or not. satan fills us with doubt when he makes us believe
that we are ugly and unlovable. Friends, our Father created us in
His sight. Like any parent He sees the good in us all the time and
loves us unconditionally. He sees us as beautiful from the inside
out. God does not care what we look like on the outside, rather who
we are on the inside!
My
challenge for you this week is to let go of something that you use to
physically enhance yourself. If it is makeup, a hair straightener,
heels, certain cothes, ect. For one week withhold from making
yourself appear prettier on the outside and work at something that
changes your heart on the inside! Let your true beauty shine
through!
With
No Makeup,
Jessica
