| Do clothes make the person? |
Our society spends billions of
dollars and countless hours a year on clothes, make-up, shoes, hair products, and
weight-loss programs to attract other people to us. And perhaps, if we'll admit it, to make
ourselves feel more attractive, more lovable.
But the focus is on the parts—the
outsides—that have little power to change a heart or make a life more
meaningful.
Are you not bombarded daily with
messages that if you buy the right shampoo, try the newest fail-proof diet, or
wear the latest designer clothes, then you’ll draw the right people to your
side who will give you ultimate happiness?
Those messages are lies.

| If Jesus Christ lives in you, you posess the ultimate attractiveness |
The world and the god of the
world—Satan—would like us to believe that when we have the ultimate head of
hair or the perfect perfume, we are attractive. The truth of God’s word is that
kindness, humility, and grace draw people to us. The inner qualities of Jesus’
Spirit at work in the secret places of our hearts make people want to be around
us because they sense authenticity and warmth.
Let’s quit listening to the lies
of society and Satan, and focus on what matters most: the hidden person of the
heart, and the source of true attractiveness—the Lord Jesus Christ and His
ways.
Have you ever known someone who
was not attractive by worldly standards, but whom everyone wanted to be friends
with, because they made people feel significant?
