"Beauty a quality that pleases the senses or agreeably engages the mind or spirit"
what do you imagine when you hear the word beauty? The colors of a sunset?the pretty face? yahahaha everyone will think the same way kan.
The cosmetics and clothing industries spend billions of money each year in the futile attempt to disprove it. Still, those of us whose photographs will never grace the cover of a glamour magazine can find joy in knowing that true beauty doesn't come from a jar. It can't be painted on, powdered up, nipped or tucked. Mum's wise word to me were, it's what on the inside that really counts.
Beauty that exalts the mind and spirit comes from God. WE ARE MADE BEAUTIFUL by Christ's perfect love for us, love made visible in the beauty of His cross.
Yes, we all have bad-hair days, days we don't feel pretty. Our mirrors reveal flaws and imperfections. but scars, crow-feet, cellulite, wrinkles and wants do not define us. Knowing, trusting, loving and living for Jesus makes us beautiful. I pray that His loveliness will be reflected in me.
