Your article could not have come at a better time
than now,when most of us are busy 'polishing the outside'.
Indeed, true beauty lies on the inside, hence we must strive to work on things which do not fade; things that make us, us.
As a marriage counsellor,i have seen how many prepare for their so called 'big day'.They imagine how it will be, who will attend, how they will look like in a wedding dress etc.But sooner than later, they begin to see a 'demon'in their spouse.They start regreting having married them
because the true colours of the 'angel' have now been descovered.
It is good to beautify oneself on the outside because people will address you the way you dress, but the inner beauty is a priceless gift to nature, man and God. Therefore, begin to check yourself: are your words seasoned with salt? Do they bring healing to those around you?
What about your character,are you a blessing in your family, community,or country? Will people mourn or will they rejoice because of your arrogance when you die?
These are questions we must answer ourselves honestly.
I have heard youths say they want to marry a kind-hearted woman instead of first asking themselves if they themselves are kind-hearted.
God has deposited so much on the inside of us,such that if He was to show you what you are truly made of,you would be suprised and run away from yourself.Go on, explore your maximum potential so that you can be what God has called you to be.
Be blessed.

ITS ABOUT THE CONTENTS by: Moses
Tamara, thanks for this short, but insightful article. I totally agree with you that what's inside is what matters and counts most. Unfortunately many people, especially the ladies, don't realize this.
Inner beauty is better than outer beauty with inner emptinesses any day. I am sure others will find your message helpful and empowering.
