Lose some weight by casting all your heavy cares and worries on the Lord (1 Peter 5:7; Matthew 11:28-30).

Exercise more by “walking in the light” and run the spiritual race every day (1 John 1:7; Hebrews 12:1).

Get strong by relying on the Lord and in the strength of His might (Ephesians 6:10)

Have soft lips by speaking words of encouragement, kindness, and compassion (Hebrews 3:13; Ephesians 4:29; Proverbs 15:4).

Make your eyes sparkle by looking out for the interests of others and focusing on eternal things. (Philippians 2:4; 2 Corinthians 4:16-18).

Have nice hands by using them for hospitality, service, and lifting others up in prayer (1 Peter 4:9; Galatians 6:10; 1 Thessalonians 5:17)

Have perfect feet by using them to bring the good news of Christ to others (Romans 10:15).

Have the nicest clothes by clothing yourself with Christ through baptism (Galatians 3:27).

Smell great by becoming a “sweet aroma” and a “fragrance of Christ” to God and others (2 Corinthians 2:15-16).

TRUE beauty in this life has very little to do with physical looks and everything to do with our spiritual appearance to God.  Don’t worry so much about your outward appearance. Focus instead on inner beauty (Matthew 23:27).  After all, “Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain…” (Proverbs 31:30).  Let’s remember also remember Who we are trying to impress ultimately, “…God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart” (1 Samuel 16:7).
