Skin Deep

Timothy 2:10(NLT)
For women who claim to be devoted to God should make themselves attractive by the good things they do.

Tonight I want you ask yourself this question. Is my Spirit only Skin Deep? In our life we are faced with many situations some of them work out in our favor and other don’t.

Sometime however there are instants where there is really no one else to consider and you must come to a conclusion all on your own.

Have you ever judge someone based solely upon the way that they looked. When I was younger I would try to associate with people I thought would benefit me. People you would consider the “in” crowd.

But as God has worked with me I have come to realize that a person is more then and outer appearance. Beauty is a temporary thing, not saying as you age that you can’t maintain a sense of beauty, however the beauty you had at fifteen will not be the same at fifty-five.

As we get older our body’s change our skin requires more care, we watch what we eat, and we try to exercise more. We do all of this in the name of beauty. It called maintaining what we have.
What about our spirit? Are we maintaining it as we do our outer shells? Do we cater to it do we nourish it, soothe it when its in pain? Or are we satisfied to dust off the surface never brothering to find out what God wants from us.

Our Spirit is damaged everyday by rejection, lies, mistreatment, loneliness, depression, sadness, cruelty, and a host of other things negative spirits we encounter.

What do we do to restore our Spirit do you spend time with God asking him to restore our mind, renew our spirit. Do you seek after him at all or are we satisfied with being only surface beautiful.

We need to get down to the matter of thing we have to move past the outer appearance which society says we have to always be fine, and move to the real stuff where we are just vulnerable enough to allow God to work.

So today I want you to ask yourself this question are you only surface beautiful or are skin deep do you have more to offer God than just the appearance of being fine.

Let your true light shine and watch your "surface beauty" become “Soul Deep”
