THE UNFADING BEAUTY

1 Peter 3:4 Rather, 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. (NIV)

Inner beauty of the heart is very important. Imagine you visited your friend and looking at his house from the outside it look so beautiful that anyone would wish to have such a house. But when you got inside you find everywhere and everything messy; unkept and bad odoured. You would be in a hurry to leave. Sadly, most people's lives are like that. 

From the outside they look beautiful and attractive but their inner self is messy, unkept and bad odoured. The Bible talks about those whose beauty is only from the outside. They are well outwardly adorned.
1 Peter 3:3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. 

Fine clothes, gold jewelry, elaborate hairstyles fades away. But the inner beauty of the heart is unfading. 
1 Peter 3:4 Rather, 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.

Inner beauty is of great worth in God's sight. A gentle and quiet spirit is the mark of inner beauty. God looks at the heart. When your heart is beautiful, it is enough for God to work it and even make your outward beautiful. 

Give attention to your inner self and invest more in your inner self than you do outward. Get God's Word into your heart and keep it there through meditation. It is only the Word of God that cleanses, adorns and beautifies your heart. 

CONFESSION

The Word of God in my heart cleanses, adorns and beautifies it. My outward beauty only reflects my inner beauty; the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit -- a conducive habitation for the Holy Spirit. Hallelujah!
