Apperance

After reading someone’s blog, it seemed to me that many girls today are unhappy with the way they look. This got me thinking… Like it or not, we are bombarded with images of perfect-looking skinny models on the runway with great complexions, shinny hair and a perfect set of white teeth. We think beauty is the ticket to bliss.


Girls now don’t just dress up for guys but they dress up for other girls! I think that girls dress competitively. Feeling the need to show their worth. But this is a very furtile effort and will only serve to make one feel worse about themselves.

Believe me, I struggled through this. It is easy to feel insecure. However, look into your heart. Who do u truly desire to please? God made you just the way He wants you to be. Knitting each part together deliberately. (Psalm 139) Most importantly, beauty is from the heart and it only comes from a secure faith in God. “Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” Proverbs 31:30 Enjoy what God has given you! Be content.

Rest in Christ, in His love, mercy and grace. Joyfully thank Him for everything! You will find true security- security that no gorgeous apperance can ever give.

Thanks for this great entry Fong. :) We are so blessed that God looks at our insides- our heart. Plus we are made in His image, amen to that.

Sending my love!
