Charm can mislead and beauty soon fades. The woman to be admired and praised is the woman who lives in the Fear-of-God. Give her everything she deserves! (Proverbs 31:31 Message)
I was sitting and just thinking about how we place so much time and effort on the way we look. How many times have you allowed someone else to place you on bondage because they say something about you weight, your hair, or your clothes? In a split second our lives can change. We could die or we could have a accident and never walk or see again. It would not matter at that point how skinny or fat you are. It would not matter how your hair is fixed. At that point the only thing that matters is your relationship with Jesus Christ. We get it twisted so often. What happens when you are so consumed with your image and your beauty that you leave the creator of your body out of the picture? God is not going to say well done my good and faithful servant because you looked good. He is not going to say depart from me because of your fat legs, fat gut, fat arms, skinny legs, big head, or stone feet. The word of God reminds us that we are His handiwork! It’s not your beauty or lack of it that He is after. It’s your heart that Jesus is after. Fear the Lord and nothing else matters.
