Beauty is Only Skin Deep

We live in a culture obsessed with beauty. Not long ago, an 8-year-old girl and her mother appeared on Good Morning America to explain why the girl was receiving Botox injections. The child, who was a participant in child beauty pageants, believed she had wrinkles on her face, and she wanted them gone.

The Bible says that “man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”  God’s concern is who we are on the inside. Are we loving, caring and kind people? Or are we too self-centered to notice our neighbor in need?

Focus on character before looks. Because beauty is only skin deep.
