Where does beauty come from? What makes a person really beautiful?

To be a truly beautiful person, we must care and maintain both spirit (the “who” we are) and body (the “what” we are).

Throughout life we are bombarded by voices everywhere, each one telling us about our worth, or what we have to do to be beautiful, to be accepted and to be loved. This brings up the question--to whose voice should we listen?

We can listen to the voice of our friends, Hollywood celebrities, and glamour magazines. These are the voices of man. The other option is to listen to God’s voice. We have a powerful choice; one that will greatly affect the person we are - and become.

The best choice is to listen to God’s voice, because He is the Creator. Mankind is the masterpiece of God’s creation -- He sure was creative! Each person is unique and precious in His sight! We were made for worshipping our creator and enjoying a relationship with Christ. He, more than anyone or anything, desires a relationship with each one of us, and desires our individual life of worship.

True beauty comes from the inside out.

Let’s discover some truths about true beauty. Beginning with Our spirit…the core of who we are…what is in there?
What is your purpose for being?
Is God in your core being? Or are you separated from him?
This is the most important aspect of life, so take a serious moment and really ponder these questions.

Whose words are guiding you?

Who are you following?
Who are you serving and trying to please?
Who or what is at your core being?
When God is your core and His glory is your purpose in life, you are on the right path. If not, you have the power to change that, and He can be there, in the core of your life, in an instant!

To be a truly beautiful person, from the inside out, put Christ at the center and then work outwards.


Serve the Lord…Why Him? Well, for starters, He created you. The Bible says that God’s plans for us are too many to count (Psalm 40:5). He even knows how many days you will live (Psalm 90) and the number of hairs on your head. My desire is that you will extend your hand to the One who loves you enough to know the most intimate details about you.

There is no better guide for our life than the one who created each one of us and the beautiful world around us. The choice is up to you.

History - 2007

This was another eventful year! The Jaffrey Bible Church began their third year of meetings, directed by Sheryl Duncan. I again, had the blessing of teaching the devotional thoughts. This time the theme was "Beauty in Action" . For a visual theme we used jewels, bringing the truth alive about how we are a valuable treasure being cleaned, faceted, and set in a particular way to glorify our creator within the church body. The wellness highlights developed to focus on various careers and how the Lord brought the various women sharing, to the place they were at, and how the teens could get involved in ministry. These careers included teaching, clerical, homeless ministry, and many more. Two other very exciting things happened this year as well: In the Spring we saw the first ever teen girl conference, at Monadnock Bible Conference. What an exciting event with over 150 teen girls! The other was the first ever guys club ministry – Man Of God . Please continue to pray for Man of Go...

Beauty and the Bubble Bath

  Beauty and the Bubble Bath What is Beauty?  Where does it come from?  What makes a person beautiful?  Is it their appearance, their attitude, or both?  Think of someone that you think is truly beautiful.  What makes them beautiful?  Is it their hair, their skin, their perfect figure?  Or is it their heart, their caring and compassionate nature, their gentle and quiet spirit?  Man vs. God:   We are bombarded by voices everywhere, each one expressing an opinion about our worth or what we must do to be beautiful, to be accepted and to be loved.  (like the latest fashion magazines & beauty tends) Where else do some of these “voices” come from? How many of us are honest enough to say that we sometimes believe the lies that the voice of “man” tells us?  I know I have struggled with this! In Matthew 23:25 Jesus exchanged conversation with the Pharisees, the religious rulers of His time.  He accused them of shining the...

Imagine

~by Lynne Rienstra (used with permission)   Imagine a girl, a precious member of the body of Christ.  She possesses a saving knowledge of Christ and His work for her and a growing dependence on the Holy Spirit.    Imagine that this girl is able to study the Bible for herself, and therefore has a deepening relationship with her heavenly Father (regardless of what kind of earthly parenting she is receiving). Constantly in God’s word, she is learning, memorizing, and applying the promises He has made to her.  Like footsteps, those promises guide her faith walk each day.    Imagine that as others struggle to answer the question, “Who am I?” this girl already knows the true question is “Whose am I?”    Imagine this girl is sure of her value as an image-bearer of God and recipient of His grace, she is shielded from the self-destructive behaviors of her peers.    Imagine her more and more able to hear God’s voice. She is less...
