Greetings to you in the Holy name of Jesus Christ. Today I wish to write about the beauty both that of our spiritual beauty and our flesh. Many people think that looking ugly or pale is a sign of huge suffering and they are fighting battles behind. Maybe true, but what kind of battles are they talking about here?
If a person is sick, he/she looks tired and ugly. This is the health issue, other side of looking ugly is the genetic problem. I would like to note here that, am not talking about those who are with the above qualities. And I quote none of us are ugly because we all are made in the figure of God.
Thinking of the beauty is a different one in different cases. And here, especially I am writing for those youngsters who are always interestedly seek the beauty. And this is related to the category of marital status. And let's get into the point directly.
In the above verse, it is cleanly shows that our body is the temple, it needs to be pure. This is a very logical one here in the verse, I present below a devotional plan from the YouVersion Bible app's plan.
"1 Corinthians 6:19-20 gives us a friendly reminder about the importance of not only renewing what's on the inside, but also what's on the outside. Think about it for a moment. Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit and should be treated as such. Would you let your church building look run down or distressed? Of course not! If repairs were needed to your church, you would renovate your church so that it stands as a shining beacon of Christ's love in your community. Therefore, shouldn't we treat our bodies the same way and continually renew them so that they are able to carry out God's purpose for our lives? In what ways do you need to renew your body? Renewal can look different for everyone. For some it might be the need for a little more exercise or a better diet. It could be the need for physical healing. For others, it may be allowing God to renew you from a past sexual sin. Find where you need renewal for your body and allow God to work His healing in your life."
Now here is the clarity, we need to be tidy and clean. And the next thing I hear a lot about the marital problems is guy asks girl to become a beautiful icon. And then girl quotes, 'am like my parents, I am designed in the God's hand. You must see my behavior but not the external beauty'. Here she completely falling apart from his dreams. No one would like to step into the marital life with a girl who isn't resembling to that of his dream girl. Here, boy doesn't mean that he is only discussing and focussing on girl's external appearance, he want her to become like his princess. He doesn't mean the current appearance of her is bad and he also doesn't want her to undergo any plastic surgery. He mean what he mean, you are you till now, but after marriage you are becoming a part of him. And like wise he in you.
Valuing each other's dreams is appreciated. If you skip his words on the beauty and keep on talking about the 'beauty in heart, honest, trueness and good qualities' it is going to embarrass him badly. He didn't mean you are bad in heart, he knows you well, all he want is to turn you into his princess. Is this wrong???
Many girls take wrong on their boyfriends in these days when he asks something like this, he may quote a metaphor for your beauty. He will show you the figures, some examples of his dreams. And girls are now going to consider him as bad guy. And they continue to rush the words on him, they even say 'you're lusty' and more and more.
Think once if this is not the creation of God to be as a Beauty queen of his dreams. Then why God created all these beautiful nature and more why he created a woman?
Not to take his words as wrong and think from his side too. You may be a prayerful girl, a regular Church goer and whatever talent you got. All these not going to impress him, but the appearance do. This is not lust or any greediness of bad, this is the natural thing.
Your outer beauty is as important
as your inner.
