The Impermanent Nature of Our Flesh

As often, Ladies take a lot of time facing the mirror. We make it sure that everything is perfect, the eyebrow, the correct used of foundation, lipstick, blush on, and if our hair is properly fixed. Then we open our closet and look for our style-of-the-day outfits. There are also times when we faced the mirror and observed that we are gaining fats, our skin becomes dry, our hair needs an hot oil, then we scream out loud, and our hope seems like totally devastated. I am not against with the majority of us, ladies, who are guilty of these facts. What I am saying is that, there should be harmony or balance with what people see in the outside and what we are inside. Our physical appearance should match our character. We often neglect that beauty is skin-deep. And when we get older like  thirty or fifty years later, all of us can experience wrinkles, becoming fat, the color of our hair changes, then our physical beauty eventually fades away. But if we take a lot of time improving intellectually, emotionally, and of course spiritually, then we can be very productive. Intellectually, it means cultivating our brain and constantly learning, because you know learning has no terminal points. Emotionally, can we handle our emotions properly? Are we too aggressive? We should maintain to have a good mental health for us to be emotionally healthy.And spiritually, do we have a personal walk with God? Do we constantly pray and read His word? And do we have a relationship with God? It is very important for us, Ladies, to seek God in every aspects of our lives. He should be the first person whom we talk to in the morning and the last person whom we communicate with before we go to sleep. We should please Him in everything we do. Thus, taking care of our physical appearance like putting some make up on, good exercise, and a proper diet, is not bad at all. However, let's make sure that we are taking good care of what's behind it as well--our CHARACTER. Well, just a reminder of the impermanent nature of our flesh. Think about it! So, Ladies, let us stay beautiful inside and out by God's grace.
