INNER BEAUTY
I Peter 3:3-4
"Do not let your adornment be merely outward – arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel – 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."
The TV series, "Extreme Makeover," turned plain Janes into beauty queens. It is amazing what beauticians, new clothes, and jewelry can do to the outward appearance. However these things can do nothing to make the spirit beautiful. It is not wrong to care about my appearance, but it will fade. Inner beauty will remain. God is not impressed with my outward beauty, but He is pleased with the "hidden beauty of the heart." So that is where my emphasis should be – to develop a gentle and quiet spirit.
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE: Inward beauty is more precious than outward beauty.

Have a "beautiful" day. Love you.
