Ladies Devotion ! Let's Start Make-Up !
A Beautiful Woman In
Christ
"Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a
woman
that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised." Proverbs
31:30
Some may have heard about the little boy who asked his
mother why she was putting on cold cream. She replied
that she was making herself beautiful. When she went to
take off the cold cream the little boy wanted to know
what was the matter. Was she giving up? That little boy
misunderstood the concept of the art of becoming
beautiful. Sometimes we as Christian women misunderstand
God's concept of becoming beautiful in Christ.
There is nothing wrong with working on our outward
beauty in itself. We are children of the King so why not
look the part? We should always do our best and look our
best but many times we forget about the inside and the
way we project ourselves. Perhaps sometimes we just
concentrate only on one feature or area of our Christian
life but not the whole and our beauty in Christ becomes
skewed.
Being beautiful in Christ involves more than just the
outside or just one part of us. One thing about beauty
that we all know as women is that it is a daily thing.
In other words we have to keep ourselves up. If we let
ourselves go what happens? We're not quite so beautiful
anymore are we? It is the same with being beautiful in
Christ. We have to constantly work at it. Here are some
things to help us improve our beauty in Christ.
1. Cleanser :- In order to
make ourselves beautiful, we have to first cleanse
ourselves of all unwanted impurities. Our cleansing
agent works through our confession and God's
forgiveness.
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to
forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9
2. Blush :-
The blush we
apply should be God's love radiating through us.
"And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is
shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is
given unto us." Romans 5:5
3. Moisturizer :-
Having
compassion can be a good moisturizer. When we start
seeing others and their needs instead of our own it can
really soften us up!
"Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the
mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And of
some have compassion, making a difference." Jude 21,22
4. Wrinkle Cream :- If we
want to smooth out those wrinkles how about applying a
meek and quiet spirit?
"But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that
which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek
and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great
price." 1 Peter 3:4
5. Foundation :- We need to
start with a good foundation and what is better than the
Word of God? If we have the Word of God in our hearts
the rest of our spiritual make-up can be easily applied.
"Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin
against thee." Psalm 119:11
6. Eye Makeup :- To keep
our eyes shinning the brightest we need to guard them
from seeing things that are not fitting of a beautiful
woman in Christ.
"What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the
Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye
are not your own?" 1 Corinthians 6:19
7. Lipstick :- To make the
face complete don't forget your lips. Apply lipstick in
the shade of 'Pleasantness' daily for best results.
"Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul,
and health to the bones." Proverbs 16:24
8. Hand Lotion :- We don't
want our hands to become dry and brittle so we need to
apply some generosity and good deeds.
"Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own
works praise her in the gates." Proverbs 31:31
9. Foot Therapy :-
Sometimes when we overlook our feet they can get
callused and rough so we need to get them going in the
right direction. Take your feet only to the places that
Christ would approve.
"Abstain from all appearance of evil." 1 Thessalonians
5:22 |
