Beautiful Inside

Last week while driving to my golf lesson I noticed a house on my street that had a For Sale sign in the front yard. Below the main sign hung a smaller sign that said, “Beautiful Inside.” The outside of the house was nice. It was clean and neat, but there was nothing so striking that it would draw me to that house more than any other house. However, the sign hanging below indicated there was more to that house than just what I could see on the outside. There was more on the inside that I needed to see, more that would appeal to me, and more that would make me love this house.
Each of Heavenly Father’s children has a different exterior. We come in various colors, shapes and sizes. Some of us may need a little grooming and others are meticulously manicured. Wouldn’t it be nice if we all wore a sign that would entice others to look beyond our exterior and see the beauty inside? There is more to us individually than what is seen on the outside. There is more that is appealing and more to make others love us.
Our Heavenly Father looks at each of us and sees our inner beauty. In 1 Samuel 16:7 it says, “But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature;………. for the Lord seeth not as a man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart”.
I so appreciated Pamela Hansens words at the recent TOFW on Saturday. She talked about inner beauty and she asked, “Do you see the biological masterpiece that you are?” I loved that comment. Just as no masterpiece is the same, we too are different and each of us offers a unique beauty all our own.
