Beauty

Why do we want to be beautiful?
I asked my sister the other day and she said becuase we want to be praised. It is true we desire beauty because we desire recogniton, praise, admiration, power. Think about it, if beauty did not get praise would we want it? Would we chase after it like we do if it was just a common utensil that passerbyers never stopped to admire? I don't think so. Praise is what we are after and it doesn't have to be spoken; we like it in the twinkle of an eye, or the manner in which we are treated, or even how we evaluate and praise ourselves as we look in the mirror. But, think on what the Ancient of Days says, He the Creator of beauty has written, "Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting. But the woman who fears the Lord is to be praised" God is not going to praise the charmer. He is not going to praise the beauty queen. He is going to praise the woman who fears Him. When all is said and done she is the one to be praised.
Who's praise are you going to chase?
How can you believe since you accept glory from one another but do not seek the glory that comes from the only God ? - John 5:44
