I think of my grandmother: her 94 year old body bent with age, face covered in wrinkles, hair thinning and white. She was the picture of true beauty - a woman who feared the Lord. She was greatly praised by her children and grandchildren.
In a society that makes everything about appearance it is hard for me not to get wrapped up in keeping up, but the way I (or anyone) looks on the outside does not indicate what is on the inside. The most beautiful face and body can be a shell to rottenness.
Lord, we praise You because we are fearfully and wonderfully made. We love You for who You are and the great things You have done. Help us to put our appearance into perspective, knowing that people look at the outward appearance but You look at the heart. Help us to read Your word so we can learn more about You and be confident in who we are in You.
Check out this video that I was reminded of today:
Do you think girls put too much emphasis on the way they look?
