Inner Beauty
When we talk about beauty, it’s easy to get caught up in the superficial aspects such as looks or fashion. However, we must remember that true beauty comes from within. The Bible teaches us that inner beauty is what really matters. We are reminded that cultivating a spirit of kindness, love, and humility adds depth and richness to our lives and to how others perceive us. This inner beauty reflects the character of God in us and must be prioritized over outward appearances. Girls, let’s focus on what is in our hearts and how we treat those around us. Being compassionate and generous will shine brighter than any lipstick or dress.

Beauty in Creation
When we think about beauty, we should also take a moment to appreciate the beauty in creation around us. God created the world with vibrant colors, majestic landscapes, and diverse life forms. Just as we admire the beauty of nature, we can see ourselves as part of that beautiful creation. Each one of us is uniquely designed, reflecting God’s creativity and imagination. We can find joy in understanding that we are fearfully and wonderfully made, and that our own beauty also reflects the beauty of creation itself.

Let’s cherish joy as a precious gift so that it enhances our beauty and the beauty we share with the world. May we always choose to rejoice in God’s love and goodness!

Beauty is not just about the surface; it’s about the inner resolve to be true to ourselves and to trust in God’s strength.
