The #1 beauty secret

"Let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us."

Psalm 90:17

 



We live in a world that's obsessed with physical beauty. If you search online for "beauty secrets," over 43 million pages will pop up. It's sad to think about because most of the population of girls think that they are ugly. Well, I've got the beauty secret. :) Whether or not we see ourselves as physically beautiful, all of us who know and love our beautiful Savior, Jesus Christ, share his beauty--- the beauty of holiness.

The bible assures us that it's true, but it's often very hard to believe. We always look at our inner flaws and imperfections, and for that, it's almost impossible for a girl to think that she's beautiful, but it's not. This inner beauty in not something we can manufacture or create for ourselves, no matter how hard we try. Instead, it comes to us as a gift from God, a gift won by Jesus himself on Calvary's cross!

This inner beauty that God gives us cannot be purchased, nor does it belong to only a few people. Instead, it is our heavenly Father's gift to each and every one of us, his daughter's in Jesus, our Savior. That beauty makes a difference in our lives; in fact, it makes ALL the difference!

That's the secret, the beauty secret, the secret of inner beauty!! Our beauty doesn't come from what kind of clothes we buy, or what kind and how much makeup we use, it's "the beauty of the LORD" himself!

The sparkle in our eye, the beautiful beaming smile, it is evidence of a life redeemed by Jesus. Our beauty comes from our Lord and Savior, because he is truly beautiful. And that's NO secret! :)

"Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain:

but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised."

Proverbs 31:30

Let his light and beauty shine through your life, always!
