Margaret Wolfe Hungerford who is widely credited with coining the saying “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”
The world’s view of beauty is based on what can be seen on the outside, whereas God sees the beauty on the inside or at least the potential of what we could be if we allow him to shape us into the beautiful person we ought to be
All to often we allow the world and the view of others to dominate our way of thinking of ourselves, “nobody would call me handsome” “I’m too plain looking” nobody will ever love me way I look”
All these and more are the lies we allow ourselves to belive, due to the world’s view
Stop for a moment and remember what the bible says Jesus would look
“He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to Him, nothing in His appearance that we should desire Him.”Isaiah 53:2b
In this modern age, we are bombarded by images of celebrities, all considered to be beautiful by worldly standards, ladies with wispy figures that they of show off far too much
Men who are acclaimed to be handsome, so is it any wonder that normal everyday people think ourselves less worthy of even being noticed
But do we really need to be noticed and judge by a corrupt world?
The answer is NO
Not when we are loved for who and what we are by our loving farther, who sees you inside beauty and loves us even when we can’t love ourselves
While it is impossible for us to see our inside beauty, we need to be aware the outside image we can see in a mirror, and others see is but a poor reflection of the true beauty within
