Proverbs 11:22 A beautiful woman who lacks discretion is like a gold ring in a pig's snout.
My Thoughts
This so reminds me of the saying I taught my children... pretty is as pretty does. My grandmother was probably not a beautiful woman.... but I never saw her as anything but beautiful! She loved God...she loved people!... She took many a person into her home that needed a place to stay...and treated them like they were her own. At visitation when she died I heard several of these stories from the people themselves. They loved my grandmother as much as I did. At 96 she was still just beautiful.... her eyes were so kind... her smile would light up a room.
We have all know those people that we thought were beautiful...then after we got to know them... we wondered why we ever thought they were beautiful. They didn't look the same anymore, even from across the room.
We can buy the most expensive clothes... learn from the experts how to do our make-up just right.... adorn ourselves with beautiful jewelry ... we can exercise until our body is "perfect." But, if we don't have the love of God in us... flowing through us to others, others will never see us as beautiful.
