A recent Cover Girl Commercial starring Ellen Degeneres has her
stating “Inner beauty is important, but not nearly as important as outer
beauty.” Some have reasoned that she is only joking. Others angrily
protest any further use of the cosmetic. Whether or not the phrase is
intended as mere humor does not negate its potential damage. The Word of
God is clear when comparing the two….
Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate
hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry [or Cover Girl make-up] or
fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading
beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s
sight. -1 Peter 3:3,4
Let’s not be fooled by society’s definitions. True beauty is
internal, not external…the inner self, unfading and of great worth in
God’s sight. No cosmetic can touch what can only come from within. I
think I’ll trust the Creator of the Universe over Ellen on what really
matters.
