Do we spend time cultivating our inner beauty? - Bluidkiti's Alcohol and Drug Addictions Recovery Help/Support Forums

You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God. (NLT) 1 Peter 3:4

We spend a lot of time focusing on our outward appearance such as perfecting our hairstyle, improving our physique, selecting the right clothes. In all, a lot of thought goes into creating just the right look. Do we spend the same amount of time cultivating our inner beauty? We know what inner beauty looks like...patience, generosity, peace-loving, fearless, and filled with a silent strength. Are we spending more time worrying about the color of our teeth instead of the kind of words that come out of our mouth? Ultimately our words are a reflection of our heart.

We forget the inner beauty shines through all the trappings. Some time it doesn`t show through all the mask and geegaws (not sure that this how it is spelled), we think we need to wear to hide the ugliness we think is inside.

We need to nurture ourselves with spiritual food, and deal with our mental and emotional well being. Affirm and validate yourself, don`t look to others to fulfill your needs.
