We all know about true beauty our inner beauty,but why is it our thoughts are always more concerned about our outward beauty.
Let me tell you I'm not an expert on this subject its something I struggle with constantly. I think alot of girls do, its part of our nature to want to be attractive and desired, but what we don't fully realize is that we are seeing models who starve themselves and are edited by a computer to made to look 'perfect' and desirable. We see that everyday online and in stores, our culture is bombarding us with it and in movies ever notice how the heroine has a pretty much a perfect body.
Are minds are being trained without realizing that that is what all women should look like.
None of us can look like that girl in the magazine or commercial.
For one shes the only her and your the only you. Second they always digitally do something to the photo even after professional makeup artist and hairstylists are done with them, not to mention half of them have personal fitness trainers and starve themselves.
The Hunger Games movie is something alot of people,teenagers especially are into right now and I saw something on pinterest that caught my eye and I'm so happy that girls can have this young lady as a role model,here is why;
“In Hollywood, I’m obese. I’m considered a fat actress. I’m never going to starve myself for a part. I keep waiting for that one role to come along that scares me enough into dieting, and it just can’t happen. I’m invincible. I don’t want little girls to be like, ‘Oh,I want to look like Katniss, so I’m going to skip dinner.’ That’s something that I was really conscious of during training. I was trying to get my body to look fit and strong, not thin and underfed.”- Jennifer Lawrence

like,"Yeah, I probably should work on that more."
Now I won't lie its true outward beauty is something that catches a guys attention. But for example if there are two girls when with outward beauty and the other inner beauty and guy walks by and he has to spend all day with them. He might be interested in the first girl her stunning apperance caught his eye. He soon found her not as alluring as he first thought,he takes no special notice in the other girl,but as the day continues he takes notice of the other girls inner beauty and she captures his heart with her kindness her true beauty.
Now you know that was just an example,but I love this verse and I think it sums it up perfectly.
Proverbs 31:30
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
Your outward beauty (by world standards) won't last, its going to leave you,but your inner beauty your following of God and fearing the Lord is going to last. You will never Regret spending that extra time with God and working on your inner beauty.
Now before I end this I don't want you to think I'm against being physically fit,watching what you eat and worrying about how you look. Just don't let it consume you and your time cause you'll spend your time comparing,worrying, and starving for something that won't last.
