When we’re not connected to our God-given identities, we will plug in to other outlets to define ourselves. For some of us, it’s our physical appearance and an attempt to remain beautiful and youthful. But the truth is: we all get older and life takes its toll on us. Scripture reminds us that real beauty emanates from the inside. “The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart” (1 Sam. 16:7).
