Its no secret that what the world considers beautiful is what is mostly seen on the outside. Outward beauty is easy to see, easy to manipulate, easy to pretend, easy to create. The most important form of beauty – inner beauty – can’t be manipulated, pretended, or created. It has to come from within, from your soul, from God. Having inner beauty isn’t just saying or doing nice things; it is when you are in a test how you foresee your testament unfolding. When your inner beauty outshines what people see on the outside, it speaks volumes. When your inner beauty is evident, you seek to impact others, look for the good in others and you are full of life. You have an unexplainable joy and peace because you have an unexplainable joyful and peaceful God!
I went through a test last week Tuesday and through that received the best compliment one could ever receive in the workplace – it was better than being patted on the back for a job well done. It was about mid-morning of actively helping managers through some separation processes when a manager paused a separation meeting to ask me that despite the tough situations that we were going through with employees, where my joy and peace was coming from. He indicated that he’d noticed that I had a calm about me that he’d never seen before. My response to this manager – it comes from God, my faith, the Bible. I read a good Word before going to work day knowing the kind of day it was going to be and my time with God helped set my mind right. My faith carries me through in all I do. See friends, that is the type of inner beauty we ought to strive for daily; lets “be beautiful inside, in our hearts, with the lasting charm of a gentle and quiet spirit that is so precious to God”. 1 Peter 3:4
Find your inner beauty; chase your inner beauty, do the work to discover who your true self (soul-heart) is and when you find it, your outward beauty will simply compliment what your inner beauty portrays.
Stay Blessed, Stay FREE
