It is amazing how far we will go to look good. We buy expensive clothes with the best labels. We purchase high end body products and spend a lot of time in front of a mirror. Sometimes we undergo surgery to remove our embarrassing areas and enhance other features. We spend hours on social media to be updated on significant trends and events, so we sound good before others.
All of this effort and expenditures are fine, but they ignore what is really important and beneficial. I Peter 3:4 says, “but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious.” We miss the point of life and God’s design if we ignore building godliness and righteousness into our hearts and spirits. When we allow God to repair and rebuild our hearts, we can become the best we can be, beautiful inside and out.
