Dear Diary,
Let me explain.
Outward appearance is fleeting. We all know this, and no matter how much people try to keep their beauty, they are not going to remain youthful and glowing for all of their days. So the question really is, what is beauty? Of course the world has its own definition of beauty... but as Christians, as followers of the truth, we have found true beauty.
We are not capable of possessing true beauty outside of the maker of beauty itself. Our Father in heaven is the creator of all things beautiful, and only in him is beauty to be found. A woman may not be blessed with all of the outward appearances that the world deems to be beautiful, but true beauty is something deeper. True beauty comes from the Holy Spirit which lives in us. Once we accept Christ into our hearts, we accept true beauty, and as the Holy Spirit takes over more and more of our lives, the more beautiful we will be. This is the wonderful process of life with Christ.
I will chose true beauty any day, over the fleeting and fake beauty of this world. When the women who are girls now, turn into wrinkled old ladies, they will still be girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes. They will be the most beautiful woman on earth, for they have true beauty in Christ.
Love,
Naomi
Wow, very true Naomi. Thanks for the encouragement!

Very nice, Naomi. We women need to keep on focussing on inner beauty which the Holy Spirit works inside of believers.
