What is your Inner Beauty?

When we first enter this world, there is always one similar scene. A precious newborn snuggly wrapped and resting in caring arms or a crib.  Ooohs and aahhhs slipping through the lips of all the eyes that lay upon us.  Comparisons are made to who we look like, whose eyes, chin or hair we have. Our outside beauty radiating throughout the room. 

But we are different, unique and not exactly the same as anyone else.  There has been no one like us before nor will they come after. We are a masterpiece of beauty all our own, both inside and outside.  But it is our inner beauty which is more magical and attractive than any outside appearance.  It has no monetary value. It can’t be sold or bought.  No makeup, clothing, or cover-ups are needed. It is very difficult to disguise. It does not fade or grow old, as opposed to any outside beauty.  

So what is inner beauty?  It’s our spirit, passion, confidence, intellect, compassion, kindness, and personality.  A special message placed within our hearts by God, to deliver to all we meet or cross paths with, and our purpose for serving the needs of others.

When we’re babies, our inner beauty is not yet fully seen, defined or understood.  But as we grow and learn, it becomes more apparent.  For most, it can take time, events, trials and tribulations, etc.  To others, they find it easier and sooner. 

Have you found your true Inner Beauty? If not, are you really listening to the compliments from others or playing them down as “that’s what I was taught to do?” If you do the latter, you might be missing your purpose or special message.  Take note of the compliments you receive. How many times have you received the same one? How does your soul  feel when they are heard or repeated?  What is your passion? 

Once your Inner Beauty is found, always emit it, no matter the age...

For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it.
For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it.
For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it.
