"Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised." (Proverbs 31:30)
"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight." (1 Peter 3:3-4)
As a woman ransomed by God's grace, my heart is filled with joy and peace when I think about what is truly of great worth in His sight. He does not want me to be "sexy", "funny" and "smart" like the world does, because those characteristics are meaningless, even at times apalling to Him. I want to please Him, and please Him only, because of His Love for me. I am forever His, and will embody nothing but the unfading beauty that is found in Him alone.
