Fleeting Beauty

How long did it take you to get ready this morning for work or school? Like fully dressed, hair & makeup, shoes & accessories, purses or whatever else you need? (Not including those who have kids b/c that alone is another hour) Why does it take so long to primp & get all “prettied” up? Most of the time when I get where I’m going I wished I had worn something else or different shoes. Let me ask you this….Have you ever been somewhere that you’ve felt out of place? Maybe you didn’t have the “right” clothes or shoes, or your makeup wasn’t just so…This is something I struggle with. After a while your self-worth & confidence are obsolete b/c “We’re our worst critic”. The thing is in God’s eyes we’re always beautiful, loved & most importantly accepted with open arms.

The following verse gets straight to the point…Don’t take it lightly; I want you to
think about this verse when you’re stressing over your clothes or makeup, etc.
or when you feel out of place.  

1 Peter 3-4Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. ⁴Instead, 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. 

I read this yesterday & found a lot of inspiration in it!  “Don’t apologize or cower away from your authentic self. “ EMBRACE IT!  I hope this brought some encouragement to you today! Remember to Praise God Always!!! In conclusion, I’m leaving this final verse with you today! 

Proverbs 31:30 ³⁰ Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
