INNER BEAUTY He will give you the mighty inner strengthening of His Holy Spirit. Ephesians 3:16 A lady flew across the country to tell a talk show host how her husband had left her for another woman. The lady, who was young, vibrant and beautiful, pulled out a photograph and said, Just look at her. He left me for that! The host concluded, Sadly, weve been conditioned to think that looks are all-important, when, in fact, theyre not. Nevertheless we keep measuring, comparing, and beating ourselves up because we fall short. If you cant enjoy who you are because of what youre not, youll never be happy. Advertisers spend billions getting us to decorate a shell thats in a losing battle with Mother Nature and Father Time--all in an effort to create what we think will attract others. And when it doesnt work, we get depressed and wonder what went wrong. Of course, its important to look your best, but when youre obsessed with your appearance you become superficial. And others lose respect for you because they discover that although the box is beautifully wrapped, its empty. If you want to know what ultimately wins hearts and attracts the right people, read these words: I pray that from His glorious, unlimited resources He will empower you with inner strength through His Spirit. Then Christ will make His home in your hearts as you trust in Him. Your roots will grow down into Gods love... And may you have the power to understand... how long, how high, and how deep His love [for you] is... Then you will be made complete (vv. 16-19 NLT). Thats the secret to inner beauty!
