True Beauty

Did you ever consider that it doesn’t matter what is on the outside? I think there is no such thing as outer beauty. The reason I say this is because it doesn’t matter whether your eyes glow or your hair is straight. The only thing that matters is what is on the inside. That is true beauty. T.V. shows, magazines and music tell us that beauty is how you look. That’s not true. You may be fat or skinny or you may have zits and warts; none of that matters.

People may think you look ugly, but God doesn’t. God made you for a reason. He molded you into a perfect image of what He wanted. Don’t deny the gifts God gave you. He may have not given you white skin or soft hair. He may not have given you all of those outer beauty parts you wanted. However, He gave you inside beauty parts like love and joy.

When I was a little girl I thought that I was so ugly. I didn’t like the way I looked. Then my grandma told me, “God made you who you are for a reason.” He then started to show me that it wasn’t what was on the outside that mattered; it was the gifts on the inside He gave me that counted. For a while, I didn’t know what my inside gifts were. Now I’m learning more about the gifts He has given me. My dad and I were talking about beauty. We discussed how beauty is more about your personality, not hair or clothes or even your skin tone. All that matters is the way you treat people. If you can love your neighbor as yourself, that is true beauty. You should never judge a book by the cover.
