Have you been beautified?

"For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation."

Psalm 149:4

Have you spent hours and money looking for the perfect beauty potion? Something that smoothes your skin and moisturizes it.... Erases fine lines and wrinkles, makes your face glow and your hair shine? Do you use toners and rose water to tighten and refresh your skin? Well, look no further, because for anyone who is a believer in Jesus Christ, you are beautified by the Lord! He will beautify the humble. With what? With salvation. If you are in possession of salvation, found in Jesus Christ alone, then you are beautiful!

"Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel— rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God." 1 Peter 3:3-4

A gentle and quiet spirit is very precious in God's sight. It is incoruptible beauty, it will never fade or expire. Our inward beauty is much more important than our outward appearance.

L. Moody I just started reading "The God Who is There" by Francis Schaeffer. It is an excellent book. This cat has been hanging out by our back door, and w...

Jesus Christ - and We

Jesus Christ- and We Christ has no hands but our hands , to do His work today; He has no feet but our feet to lead men in His way; He has no tongue but our tongues to tell men how He died, He has no help but our help to bring them to His side. We are the only Bible, the careless world will read; We are the sinners' gospel, we are the scoffers' creed; We are the Lord's last message, Written in deed and word- what if the line is crooked, what if the type is blurred? What if our hands are busy, with other work than His, What if our feet are walking, where sin's allurement is? What if our tongues are speaking, of things His lips would spurn, How can we hope to help Him, Unless from Him we learn? By Annie Johnson Flint (1862-1932) I was going through my old school folders and found this great poem. It is so true. We as Christians are to show the world how Christ would act and ta...
