From The Inside Out
Every day before going to school, how long do you stay in front of the mirror to get that perfect look? 30 minutes to two hours? Wow! That’s pretty time-consuming isn’t it? Do you manage to stretch that same number of minutes to read your Bible and immerse yourself in prayer?
Taking care of yourself is not bad. Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit so God wants you to take really good care of it. However, the command does not particularly imply the outside appearance alone but also the inside [spirit] as well. A 20-minute devotion, i.e. talking to God, reading His Word, listening to Him, is worth far more than a thousand make up and eyelash enhancer to make you beautiful from the inside out.
