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: Dear captarcan, Greetings and welcome to the forum. When God looks at you he see's the Christ in you Col 1:27, it's whats on the inside that matters most. 2 Peter 1:3 tells us that God has given us everything pertaining to life and godliness. When Jesus comes back to get us we're gonna get new bodies. You wont have to concern yourself with how good you look,God will already have taken care of that. Your not as poor as you think,Ephesians 1:3 tells us that God has bleesed us with every spiritual blessing in Christ.It does'nt get any better than that. Learn to view yourself as God does and you will find youself much more encouraged about yourself and the life God has called you to. 1 John 3:1-3 Take heart,you are who God says you are. In Christ, lionheart |
