Look at an ad for almost anything from cars to cola and you’ll see them. The beautiful people. The ones who live in the nicest homes, have the best jobs, drive the fanciest cars, wear the latest fashions, and have the coolest friends. But there’s a message beyond the one that promises we can be like them.
The more subtle message is that we need to be like them; we should want to be beautiful by their standards. If we buy into this idea, we’ll spend our lives trying to obtain the unreachable—perfection.
We need to be less concerned with what people think and more with how God sees us. We need to look into the mirror of the Bible and discover what he says about us.
When we do we’ll understand our value—our worth to him. Once we realize that we are priceless, that he gave all he had to redeem us, we’ll see others and ourselves differently.
We’ll become less concerned with how people view us and more with whether or not we’re blocking their view. When we become transparent—unafraid to let others see the ugliness of our sins—Christ makes us beautiful.
