According to the Bible, man loooks on the outward appearance while God looks on the heart (1 Samuel 16:7). We often take this as a good reminder that God is looking within us and cares more about our status within than without. But the drive of humanity towards the outward focus is also present in this verse, and it is a drive that is stronger than ever today. Beauty has become something it was never created to be, and it really no longer is beauty that we see but instead a cheap fraudulent imposter. In the next few posts I hope to explore this issue of our loss of true beauty. One prevailing problem is that the fake beauty we are constantly being presented with is a standard that woman can never achieve and an allure that men will never find.
To kick off this topic, I am posting this video by "Dove" to get our hearts and mental wheels turning.
