1 Peter 3:3-4

Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel— rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. 1 Peter 3:3-4

I didn’t think that as I got older I’d still be concerned about my hair, make-up, or what I wear. The struggle with vanity doesn’t cease with age. I’ve been working on spending as much time in prayer and reading God’s Word as I do in getting ready in the morning putting on make-up, doing my hair, and getting dressed. The more time I spend in the Bible, the more I reflect on what my hidden person of the heart looks like in the sight of God. Precious is the adjective I must strive for, and I need to be an example of this to my children, especially my daughter who spends many hours on her outward adornment.
