What is beauty?
For a long time, I thought I knew what beauty was. I saw beauty looking out at me from magazine stands, TV shows, and cosmetic isles.
Now - after many years of striving after this "beauty" - I know that I can't find beauty in a mirror or in the number on a scale.
The Bible says that inner beauty is a gentle and quiet spirit. But what does this inner beauty look like on the outside? After seeing a picture of a beautiful friend, I think I know.
This friend wasn't wearing makeup or fancy clothes. Her hair wasn't styled or elegant. But she was so beautiful.
She was here in Haiti, sitting with one of the kids she came to serve. Their smiles were big and bright and full of pure joy. She was following God's call for her life - sacrificing, serving, and blessing others.
There is nothing more beautiful than that.
