The following is a Facebook entry made by my daughter this week. Her heartfelt message is aimed at a female audience, but there is vital truth presented for men, too. After all, are we not subject to the enemy's same lies about the definition of "beauty?"
The world pushes beauty, in order to "fit in," telling us we need to adorn ourselves with clothes, jewelry, worthless stuff to be somone. Magazines, Facebook, Pinterest, television, billboards, movies, malls, all push outer beauty that will fade away!
But what about GOD'S truth, ladies? Jesus is all we need. Our one true treasure is being a woman of God through Jesus Christ His Son! Now this is truth! "Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised." Proverbs 31:30
Fear God! "Fear " means "to be in awe of....to honor." Our children are watching. Do they see the treasure of Jesus in you? Does your outside reflect the, ONE living inside of You? Jesus! Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, and not the empty things of this world.
In Jesus we find rest. His glory shines through us as we continually yield to Him! Be encouraged! For you are fearfully and wonderfully made by God! He knit you together in your mother's womb!
"How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things." Romans 10:15
Be strong in the Lord!
Thank you for your words, sweet daughter. Men: take time today to re-examine your definition of "beauty," and take action to let the women in your life know in no uncertain terms how precious and beautiful they are to you.
