Inward and Outward Beauty

  You glance at the T.V.  screen and see a beautiful model showing off her skinny body. You think to yourself why didn’t God make me look pretty like that? Does He think that person is better than me? The answer to both of those questions is God cares about you He made you beautiful and precious just the way you are. Don’t ever think that God treasures someone more because of how they look. If you think something like that then it‘s probably just your bothersome emotions lying to you again. God says in His Word everybody is the same. We all sin.
    Inward beauty is much more different than outward beauty because, you want your heart to be clean and pure. The reason is, if you are a Christian, than your heart becomes the Holy Spirits resting place and you want to keep the Holy spirit’s home clean. By keeping your body clean. I mean you should not dirty your body up with: drugs, alcohol, smoking etc…
    Outward beauty is another part of most teenagers life now a days. Sadly, out of hundreds of teenagers between the ages of thirteen the seventeen there are one to two teenager that develop eating disorders. That’s a lot since there are 25 to 28 million teenagers in the world. The reason is because they don’t feel good about their outward appearance and they see all those skinny and pretty to the eye, stars on T.V. or magazines and think they look ugly when they really are pretty. As days go by lots of teenagers around the world die because of not eating enough or of drugs and other thing that they think will fill the whole in their life that they think bad stuff will fill and make them feel good about themselves. They end up making an awful choice because the thing that they need to fill that whole of longing with is Jesus Christ. He will change their life. Today I found the verses 1Peter 3:3-4 “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” when I read those verses, it touched my heart. I love knowing that my God doesn’t care how you look on the outside as long as it’s modest but, that He cares about your heart.
