What is beauty?
Do you find it in the perfect foundation that makes your skin appear flawless? The body of a movie star, caught in action at the beach?
Or is it something within... something that appears in your eye, like a sparkle, or a hint of depth? Is it the kind words you retort to the criticism you receive?
A few years back, I came across a video that exemplified society's twisted perception of beauty. We're so focused on the OUTWARD appearance of people that sometimes we skip right over a person, even if they have a heart full of love and passion.
Judging a book by its cover is wrong, and so is judging a person based on their clothing, hair, pimples, or natural beauty. And even if that person is beautiful by accepted standards, they might be competely 'fake.'
Watch how they made this woman into a supermodel.
I'm learning to accept my flaws for what they are. They make me who I am. Being flawed is perfectly fine. It's what makes us unique, and what makes us beautiful. Embrace who you are!
"Beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised." Proverbs 31:30
