True beauty

“Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty that depends on fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes. You should be known for the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God. That is the way the holy women of old made themselves beautiful.” (1Peter 3:3-5, NLT)

This is an important thing to remember in a world full of girls who feel they have to be picture perfect to be loved. Sometimes I get caught in this trap or get jealous of those who get noticed because of their looks. But I need to remember that my outward appearance doesn't matter so much. I shouldn't waste my time and money trying to look good to impress guys. I don't want that shallow kind of attention anyway. I want a guy who looks past the outward appearance and searches for inner beauty. Someone who can overlook the hotties, the flirts, and the social butterflies and see the beauty in me. I want my beauty to be much more than skin-deep; something that only those wise enough to look for it will find.
Girls, don't dress immodestly or spend loads of time and money on your appearance. You don't want to cause your brothers in Christ to stumble or give a false impression of who you are. Let your personality, your gifts, your faith and your love be your beauty. Don't be jealous of those girls who get all the attention. Your time will come.
Guys, don't settle for shallow girls that are trying to impress you more than God. This may sound cheesy, but look for the true beauty inside.
