Don't be concerned about the outward beauty
that depends on fancy hairstyles,
expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes.
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.
It’s amazing how much money is spent on clothes and other adornments to try to look good and to impress others. The Bible gives us what is precious to God, and what’s precious to God isn’t what’s visible to man, but what God can see in your heart – the real you. If we put more effort onto the outside by emphasizing our bodies, then we are focusing on the temporary part of us and not the eternal part of us. The real you isn’t the physical you, but rather it’s the spiritual you that is revived by Christ. Ecclesiastes 12:7 teaches us, “For then the dust will return to the earth, and the spirit will return to God who gave it.” Our spiritual life is what’s most precious to God. Is your spiritual life what's most precious to you?
