Are you attractive?

I love that God sometimes is so patient with us that he repeats Himself through a word. Today's blog, submitted by David Trotta, may carry a thought similar to one earlier in the week so don't miss it's message.

As humans, we put a lot of emphasis on our outward appearance.  We spend countless hours and money trying to look our best.  As a matter of fact, in America alone, we spent nearly $11 billion on beauty products in 2012.  We have a strong desire to look attractive and be noticed by others.

Now we know that outward appearance is not important to God, but did you know the Bible teaches of an “inner” beauty that is especially attractive to our Heavenly Father?  Isaiah 66: 2 says “But to this one I will look, to him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word.”  Being humble, showing sincere remorse when we sin, and a great respect and reverence for God’s word are qualities that cause Him to stand up and take notice of us.

Imagine God looking to and fro across the earth, only to stop and pause when He sees you because your inner beauty caught His eye.  Wow, what an incredible privilege!

But it doesn’t end there.  Once you catch His eye, He promises to come along side you and be your strongest supporter.  2 Chronicles 16:9 says “For the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His.”

Instead of focusing on outward appearances, let’s choose today to pursue true inner beauty that is attractive to the one that matter most – God!
