EVERLASTING BEAUTY
The things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
2 CORINTHIANS 4:18
When we think of beauty, we tend to look in the mirror and “reflect” on what we see. But eventually the outward beauty we possess will change and fade away. There is, however, a beauty that does not fade away. This beauty shines out from within us as we allow the love of God to rule our lives. In turn God will work within us to change our priorities and to make us more and more like Him.
If we love the Lord, we will make it our aim and our delight to please Him by the way we live. We should look for ways to make Him smile. Let your light so shine that others will see the gift of His love, a beauty that is eternal.
Father God, focus my eyes and my thoughts on the things of eternal beauty, not outward beauty.
