In our culture, it is normal for young women to feel pressure to look great all the time. And sure, it’s great to dress pretty and do your hair, but there is an aspect to beauty we don’t seem to focus on enough: inner beauty. Some may ask, ‘what IS inner beauty?’ The simple answer is it is Christ within us. It is the thing inside us that helps us to be a better person and to love and serve God.
Imagine there are two women. One has a gorgeous face and body, but is treating people poorly, is dressed immodestly, and doesn’t love God. The other is less attractive, but treats people with love and lives to glorify God. Who is truly the more beautiful?
We all should have the desire to let our inner beauty shine; how can we do that? Some easy ways to show inner beauty are to do things such as helping someone who has fallen, listening to someone who needs to talk, befriending someone who is lonely, consoling a friend who is having a bad day, or simply living out a Christ like life in all things that you do. There are thousands of ways to show the inner beauty that a Christian girl has inside her.
