VANITY! VANITY! I Shout!!!!!! why do we give it sooo much clout? Of beauty and looks that are fleeting, vanity thats so misleading.. Fashioning ourselves to feed our pride, to impress people who wouldnt care if we died. Vanity hides who we are inside, pride, something we should all set aside. For it was vanity and pride, that got the devil sent for a ride. rocketing from heaven where he once stayed, to a place of fire and brimstone where he now rants and raves. Our body is a temple, this is true. But its our spirit we must keep renewed.
...Proverbs 16:18
"Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before stumbling "
...James 4:6
"......God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble"
In relationships, why do we always seek for the best looking, instead of the most promising?? I understand we have to have some physical attraction to a person, but we love the person that they are inside.....its that person we are inside that lasts throughout the years after are youth and beauty fade.People spend thousands of dollars to keep themselves looking young....and yet they never seem to find true love, because their eye is on the outside, not on the person within. Divorce rates in our country keep rising....why? becasue of this very reason.....they base their love on feelings of physical attraction.....which fades and alters throughout the years....and then they find that they never loved the person they are with, the sad reality is....they never learn, and they just try to keep their beauty intact , just to find another infatuation, that winds up just like the last....empty. We need to learn to be like our creator, who loves unconditionally.
