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.
