Many women today put their confidence in their physical appearance and as they age, they tend to become more insecure. Some even resort to aesthetic and cosmetic surgery, which in the truest sense is temporary.
One of the hottest issues of 2013 has been the honest revelation of insecurity by a 26-year old top model of the world, Cameron Russell, who said that models are the most physically insecure women on the whole planet. If this is the case, even for super models, how then is real beauty defined and achieved?
Real beauty transcends sensory perception and is from the inside. Helen Keller, a deaf and blind poetess, credited this quotation to her teacher, Anne Sullivan, who distinctly described what beauty was by saying, “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched. They must be felt with the heart.” This brings us to Proverbs 31:30 which reinforce the truth of a real beauty being intangible. It says, “Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
