If the flaws on our skin are visual to mankind then clearly our hearts blemishes are just as visual to the God who created us. Yet, who needs a heart scanner to seek truth from when ‘The Almighty’ will personally look into each of our hearts and expose every one of its weaknesses to light.

Ephesians 5:13, ‘But everything exposed by the light becomes visible--and everything that is illuminated becomes a light.’

When clients can physically see the poor state of their skins health thanks to a little light it leads to 95% of them wanting to change their loose ways in exchange for glowing complexions. Light brings clarity and clarity brings change. And the Lord knows this oh so well. When He sheds light onto our hearts and exposes all its weaknesses before our eyes, it leads to most of us desperately desiring to overturn and overcome them all, doesn’t it?

Ephesians 5:13 ‘But everything exposed by the light becomes visible--and everything that is illuminated becomes a light.’

So what in this world can alter our hearts to mimic that of God. Well, while there is still no formula or product globally known to transform hearts, God can give us something so much better. Something which will never run out, go dry and guarantees life-changing results. It’s the Bible of course!

The Bible is the only product in life one needs for amazing and lasting change. Such as a good Moisturizer has power to turn our skin from dry to soft, God’s Word also has power to turn our hearts from selfish to selfless.

However, just like my clients won’t see change unless they purchase and apply a professional range of products onto their body and skin daily, we too won’t see change in our hearts and lives if we don’t apply the Bible to it on a regular basis. The Bible is our only key to enteral youth. Our hearts have potential to change for the better, forever. Through God’s free wisdom and knowledge (James 1:5) our hearts can become the best and most beautiful parts of who we are.

Lastly, what kind of heart is beautiful to God?

1 Peter 3:4, ‘But let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious.’

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23) are qualities far, far more beautiful to The Most High than competing for flawless skin and thin thighs. Our society may applaud and gravitate towards our outer appearances but the Lord values our hearts intentions a million times more. When our hearts overflow with Faith, Hope and Love (1 Corinthians 13:13) it is then that we replicate His heart the most and that is beauty at its very best.

Showing love and being kind to the world will always rank top of the list to God than having glowing skin and a figure to die for. Ladies Remember This.

Take some time now to have a heart to heart session with your maker, asking Him to help you identify what deep down inside needs changing. It’s never too late to become the woman God has all along envisioned you as.
