I feel like almost all girls have been confused about beauty at one time or another, and there are some who live all their lives striving after what they think beauty is. All you have to do to find examples of these kinds of women is to browse through the check-out aisles at the local grocery stores. Magazines featuring women in bikinis on their front covers with perfect bodies, perfect hair, perfect make-up . . . seemingly perfect everything. These women work to achieve this "perfect body," expose it in a bikini, smack it on the front of a popular magazine, and call it beauty. The truth is, there is a difference - a BIG difference - between that and true beauty.
He has my heart.
I believe this is the true essence of beauty. No one can be truly beautiful unless they have given their lives to Christ, because girls who are unsaved can only see the physical - what is tangible. We as Christians know that a spiritual realm also exists where evil wages war against good, but good ultimately triumphs.
Girls who give their lives to Christ also give Him their heart. Then He comes and fills their heart so there's no room for anything else. When we allow anything else to creep into our hearts, we have to push God out because in our hearts there's only room for one. Once our hearts are full of Christ, we have no need for anything else; He is all we need. God holds my heart, and I know He holds yours too if you've trusted in Christ as your savior. So why do we feel the need to satisfy ourselves with other things? Because we've pushed God out to make room for worldly things and we feel the emptiness.
The point of everything I've just said is this: if we're saved, we don't need anything else. We don't need to worry about how we look because Christ is all that matters. Let's leave room in our hearts for Him.
