Inner v/s Outer Beauty
Wednesday, May 27, 2009 Edit This
How many of us judge people by their face?
***I can see almost all hands raised up and swinging in the air***
Making a snap judgment based on appearance often works; but not always. And the exceptions can really cost you.
The world teaches us to judge people by their outward appearance. But God doesn't judge people by how they look instead HE looks at a person’s thoughts, intentions and deeds ; and so should WE!
Inner beauty is a gift to one’s self. We may not be able to ‘see’ inner beauty in a person, but we can definitely ‘feel’ it. A person with an inner beauty always touches people around them. Inner strength is reflected in this inner beauty which comes from unconditional faith in God, courage of conviction, positive attitude and a spirit that refuses to get flattened out by the ups and downs of life.
I have seen women wearing tonnes of makeup on their face and frankly speaking they look like puffed-up pancake monsters, seriously! The very sight of them makes me so irritated. Apply makeup, there is no problem in that, but make it minimum such that it highlights your natural features.
Get going, develop the beauty that lies within you, be daring, be risky, and be yourself!
To judging with righteous judgment…
“True beauty shines through, for the wise can see through the superficiality of perfect skin, or hidebound social judgements.”
What is your own perception of beauty? Inner or outer beauty counts?
