WHAT MAKES A LADY BEAUTIFUL?

What's your definition about a perfect beauty and how does the society view the beauty of a lady?

Most people have different characteristics they would love to see in a lady before concurring to her beauty or not.

Some of these characteristics or attributes include:

• thin
• beautiful
• sexy lips
• has big breasts/buttocks
• figure eight
• pointed nose
• white teeth
• tall
• doesn’t have pimples
• has a flat tummy etc.

You will agree with me that the only one who fits all the above description is Barbie.

It’s amazing how a childhood toy can mould a young lady ideas about where beauty comes from.
Many young women grew up with unrealistic expectations about their bodies which later on affects their self esteem.

The real question is where does beauty really come from? Let’s go back to the Bible to see what the Creator of beauty has to say about where it comes from and how we are to use it.

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. (1Peter 3:3-5)

Do these scriptures say that we shouldn’t style our hair or wear nice clothes? Of course not.

The Bible simply says that this kind of beauty fades and can’t be depended upon. These verses are good reminders that physical beauty isn’t going to last forever and that our primary focus shouldn’t be on outward beauty. However, the beauty that comes from loving and serving God with a happy heart is a beauty that endures even when your figure has fallen out of shape and wrinkles adorn your face.

True beauty doesn’t come from fresh makeup, the latest hairstyle, or how you look in your apparel. Rather, it radiates from the inside out, from a heart that delights in the Lord.

But you can't rule out the fact that physical beauty is very important and necessary.
