"Then as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and donations, He said, 'These thing which you see — the days will come in which not one stone shall be left upon another that shall not be thrown down.' "
Luke 21:5-6
We get so enamored with the externals – our beautiful churches, houses, cars, faces, and physiques. They ain't gonna last!!! That's why it is so important to value the enduring things – like relationships with God and family, our spirits and our character. As Peter put it, "Do not let your adornment be merely outward ....Rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God" (I Peter 3:3-4).
Today's Thought: Inner qualities are more important than external adornments.
Have a "beautiful" day. Love you.
