Through the eyes of a blind person

Have you ever stopped and wondered if no one could physically see you, how you would be viewed.  Would the drop dead gorgeous woman be envisioned as ugly or would the person who most view as unattractive now be the most sought after?  I never would like to have my sight taken away, but I must say that blind people definitely have an advantage of truly seeing people for who they are.  Behind the makeup, behind the hair extensions, behind the clothes, behind the career, behind the family, who are you?  What picture are you painting in the minds of people?  Is your greatest attribute your physical features or is your greatest attribute your spirit?  Just like wealth, beauty has the ability to come and go if not managed well and quite frankly at times, our beauty can be compared to economics, as the supply goes up, the demand comes down.  Meaning that we may find ourselves surrounded by a multitude of beautiful, younger and/or newer persons and thus our once desirable looks may be less desirable or even replaced.  However, inner beauty doesn’t age; it only gets better with time, that is if you nourish it. Galatians 6:9 states, Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up and Proverbs 31:30 states Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.  Therefore, don’t place so much emphasis on your outward appearance; let your spirit be your beauty.  Be a woman of virtue, be a man of integrity and most importantly be a child of God and you will be the most beautiful person.

Love,
