Bible Question:
Being a woman and very insecure with my looks (I have reason to be)I am not rich,actually I am poor and getting my hair,nails,tanning,etc;just lets me feel a little better.Does God and Jesus want us to look good for ever even in heaven. He's got all the natural stuff up there but I am on earth with bad weather and cold and I love the tanning look for my self.If Jesus and his dad feel this is wrong in their eye's tell me why? |
Bible Answer: Being caught up with your looks is boasting in yourself. We were put on this earth to find every way possible to glorify God. Being concerned whether or not your hair is perfect or you have the perfect tan takes away from time you could spend praying and developing your relationship with God. Sure, I like to look nice, but I have to think, what what matters more? Having a humble heart and a strong relationship with God? Or perfect nails? Which one of those things helps your walk with God? |
