Unfading Beauty

"For women who claim to be devoted to God should make themselves attractive 

by the good things they do." 2 Timothy 2:10 NLT

I think one of the things our culture today gets wrong is the meaning of the word "attractive". When we hear that word, we automatically jump to the physical attributes of a person. Just like Samuel was saying in 1 Samuel 16:7: we don't look at it the way God looks at it... God examines the heart of a person. And the heart is what truly makes a person attractive. As women, we are put under extreme pressure to look a certain way, fit a certain size, and be a certain kind of beautiful... But society has it all wrong. We wonder why the wrong guys are chasing after us, but when we examine our attraction methods, it's not hard to see who is at fault. Are we (as CHOSEN women of God) presenting ourselves in ways that are attractive to God, or attractive to people? Who you serve will be manifested in the ways you get attention. God is not impressed by how short your skirt is, but the right men of God are certainly drawn to a woman of integrity. If you are truly chasing after God and His heart, you will be doing His good deeds. In turn, you will become a more attractive person. So TODAY, start caring more about what your actions say about you, than what your outward appearance does. Start by writing this verse down and placing it by every mirror in your home, or by making it the background on your phone. This is one of the first steps to becoming the woman God desires you to be... Happy, blessed, and full of life. Oh, and beautiful, inside & out.

"Don't be concerned about the outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes. You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit which is so precious to God." 1 Peter 3:3-4 NLT
