True Beauty

    Hello there! It has been too long since I have made a post like this, and I am ashamed of that fact. People have been asking me why my blog is named Lord's Girls if I don't even mention the Lord in most of my posts. I am really sorry! I didn't even realize I was doing this until you guys said something! Thank you so much for snapping me out of my ignorance! :) But anyway, today I am doing a post on "True Beauty". Does anyone even know what that means? I don't blame you, because our society doesn't really talk about it that much. Oh sure, we talk about beauty enough to make my ears bleed, but we don't really talk about the real meaning of beauty. First, let's go to dictionary.com and look up the definition of beauty.

1. the quality present in a thing or person that gives intense pleasure or deep satisfaction to the mind, whether arising from sensory manifestations (as shape, color, sound, etc.), a meaningful   design or pattern, or something else (as a personality in which high spiritual qualities are   manifest).
2. a beautiful person, especially a woman.
3. a beautiful thing, as a work of art or a building.

So there is that. Seems legit, right? What does God say about beauty? 

1 Peter 3: 3-4 "Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious."

Proverbs 31: 30 "Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised."

Did you just read that?! God says that charm is deceitful and beauty is vain! WHAT?! Better yet, read this following verse:

Matthew 6: 28 "And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin..."

Hmm...what does THAT mean? Well, I'm no expert on translations, but the lilies are beautiful, right? Well, imagine yourself as a lily. You grow and you grow and you become more lovely as God's love forms around you. Do you get it now? You need to NOT be all obsessed about what to wear or how to make your face "pretty" with makeup.


YOU are truly beautiful. Maybe you don't think you are physically, but if you follow God's will, you will be spiritually.



This post is making me cry because I am so PASSIONATE about this. Here's one to make you laugh or smile, or maybe both:



:D



Did you know that we spend more than 8 BILLION DOLLARS on cosmetics in JUST THE UNITED STATES?! That is more than the whole world's money spent on basic education. The WHOLE WORLD! The whole world spends only $6 billion on basic education for all. Doesn't that make you cry?



It truly is. It truly is.



I am seriously bawling my eyes out. Doesn't this move you? How many times do I need to tell you? You. Are. Beautiful.



This is too true. :'(



This is my favorite quote I have ever read in my life.



No. NO!



Don't become one of those people who make the bruises. Be the person who helps them through their life. That shows Christ's love. That stays there for them no matter what.



If you have any questions, or if you would like to tell me your problems or testimonies, I swear I will read them and respond to you. You are not alone. I will be there for you. If you don't feel comfortable with commenting, and I'm sure you won't, just email me at lordsgirls.blogspot.com@gmail.com. Remember:

I love you, but that isn't worth as much as God loving you. And no matter what you have done or have felt, he loves you SO much. :)
