I pray thee, O God that I may be beautiful within. – Socrates
2 Corinthians 4:16, For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
There are many in this life that only looks at you for your appearance, what you drive, where you live, or how much money you make. Many times, what they are looking for is what they can get out of you. This is what the Satan does. He finds how you can benefit him, puts you to work, and when you have nothing left to offer, he drops you like a lead balloon. He leaves you like you’ve got the plague. He runs to someone else, so he can use them up.
I’m glad the Lord is not concerned with what I have to offer but what He can do for me! He saved my soul, set my feet on a solid foundation, and I have been firmly in His service for many a year! It’s a joy to know that He gives me strength to live day by day. He is not only a crutch for me; He’s the legs I walk on.
Friend, beauty is only skin deep! When you look at people, seek how you may serve them, not how they can serve you.
