1 peter 3:4-5 ... you should be known for the beauty that comes from within , the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit,which is so precious to God ,that is how the holy women of the old days made themselves beautiful, they trusted God...
uhh yeah ! try telling that to a women off the street and the first thing they would do is laugh .... but if you look at it and really think about what its saying , it's really what every woman wants
unfading beauty... right?!!! something that is so real and unmatchable can only come from God ..
our sunrise and sunset can not be compared to anything in this world thats real beauty ..
i have been a makeup artist for over 6 yrs and it makes me so sad to see young girls hide in shame with a bare face but when all there makeup is done the can walk around as if they were the only girl in the room .. full of pride in an air of arrogance. all because we slapped some junk on there face and called it a night.
what makes you beautiful??? is it the makeup , the clothes the latest cool thing out ...
thats what i used to believe and still fall victim to the latest fashion but real beauty comes from knowing GOD ..
i will tell you a funny story .. for years my husband would get up @6:15 -6:30 ish for work everyday .. never did i once think to get up and make him lunch or coffee to send him on his day NEVER !!even though i would get up @ 7 to get our son ready for school.. about a year ago i made a personal decision to make my relationship with God something real !! i asked God to get me up early enough to read and have some alone time just me and my bible.. well in doing this i had time and energy to make lunch and coffee sometimes even breakfast for my husband before he was even up. months passed and this became a habit, i developed a love for it (weird huh) well anyways .. the point is this.. one day i didn't get up and totally flaked on doing it and when my husband came home he was tired hungry & grumpy and said i missed you this morning .. (of course with a sarcastic voice) at that moment i knew that what i was doing made me even more beautiful to my husband .. by waking up a bit earlier and writing love notes and verses in his lunch revealed a beauty in me that only God can do ... so you see beauty isn't sold at M.A.C it doesn't come from the gym .. its comes from a heart that is willing to be obedient and faithful to God ...he gives beauty.. You could be the most attractive woman on the face of the earth but if you don't have God then your beauty fades !! yuk!!
My hope is in your unfailing love .......
Romans 16 :13
