How God Measures Beauty

Over the years I have noticed women struggling daily with their self image and phycial beauty. People go to extreme measures to make themselves more beautiful. Women tend to think they are never pretty enough,thin enough,or look like so and so. We tend to compare ourselves to others instead of God's standard of beauty. Here is the truth behind some of the models people compare themselves with.



Crazy huh! No wonder people have a hard time believing they are beautiful because they are comparing themselves to fake people.

God's standard for true beauty has EVERYTHING to do with the heart not with external looks. God defines a beautiful heart as a heart that is totally in love with Him and is fully devoted to obeying everything He commands. Since this is God's standard of beauty should'nt it be ours? In the bible this is one thing God has to say about external beauty in regards to his son Jesus.
"He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him". Isaiah 53:2
