“Gorgeous Inside”

October 11, 2013

It’s a rather nondescript house that sits on a busy thoroughfare. With no distinctive characteristics, this rather plain home is easy to ignore. But as I drove past it the other day, I noticed a “For Sale” sign in the yard. Attached to the sign was a smaller notice that happily announced: “I’m gorgeous inside.” While I’m not in the market for a new house, that sign intrigued me. What could make this otherwise forgettable house gorgeous inside?

It also made me wonder: Could that sign apply to us as followers of Jesus? Think about it. No matter what we look like on the outside, shouldn’t there be within us a beauty that reveals God’s love and work in our lives?

What does the Bible say about inner beauty? We might start with Romans 7:22, which says, “In my inner being I delight in God’s law” (niv). A few verses later in Romans 8:6, Paul speaks of a Spirit-controlled mind that is characterized by “life and peace.” And in Galatians, we see that letting the Spirit take charge of our inner being will build in us the “fruit of the Spirit” (5:22), a beautiful array of qualities such as love, joy, peace, patience, and kindness.

Delighting in Scripture and allowing the Spirit to work in our heart will make us look good on the inside—and will pay off in a life that honors God.

Dear Lord, I pray that through the work of Your
Spirit dwelling within me I will be transformed
into a grand display of the fruit that will attract
others to You and reflect glory back to You.
Righteousness in your heart produces beauty in your character.

Read: Romans 8:1-11

To be spiritually minded is life and peace. —Romans 8:6
Bible in a Year:
Isaiah 37-38; Colossians 3

fotki is moving and it’ll take time to get all their servers back up.
That’s why I am not screaming and throwing things.

But it made getting the thread up on time interesting. Some of the backgrounds I had chosen went missing and I had to scramble to get something that worked.

Love the Kitty pic!

I’d have been here sooner if not for mine refusing to give up her lap time, now the dog is pushing the iPad with her nose.

I love ‘em though.

Hi ~ Hugs2 You 1 zps9409c58b

The picture of the kitty on the keyboard reminds me I rescued a kitty yesterday. Was abandoned and wandering around. It's a sweetie and just wants to be held. Will be trying to get it a home shortly.
