Let's face facts. We all have those days where our hair is perfect, our makeup Hollywood perfect and our clothes drape on us as we were a New York fashion model, except for the toothpick thin anorexic look, which doesn't look good on anyone.
I love a stylish set of clothes as much as the next woman. I'm not immune to that fantastic feeling which comes over you when you step out of the house like you're going to conquer the world. But I'm much more comfortable in a pair of faded 501s, shirt and sandals. Either way, I can still walk out my front door and conquer the world.
Because what really makes the woman or man is who you are inside. It's a remembrance of your divine beginnings and an understanding of where you're going.
It's knowing that if you're ignorant, you don't have to remain that way. History and information surrounds us in books, magazines, newspapers, radio, television and the internet. Ignorance is a chosen state.
Health, or lack thereof, is a chosen state. You can be struggling with disease and yet be doing things which can improve your health, such as it is.
And here's my main point: Who you are on the inside is what makes who you are on outside. If you are a person who has a flickering remembrance of your divine heritage than you seek after the knowledge which brings you closer to God. You seek to live your life in such a way that you can stand with God. You know you are a son or daughter of God. You know you have gifts and talents given to help you accomplish the mission you were sent here to do. You know the eternal scope of our existence and understand that nothing the world can offer, bright and shiny as it may be, will ever surpass the untold beauty of eternal life.
Dress according to your divine heritage, nothing and no one will ever surpass you. So simply put, worry about the person on the inside, that's what shapes who you are on the outside.

I couldn't agree more.
ReplyDeleteI like fashion (although now at my weight it's out of bounds).
But I'm tired of the Paris Hilton thing where everything is several hundred dollars. Who cares? You can find fashionable clothes for way less and spend your money on more interesting or helpful things.
Like books!
ReplyDeleteNot so much about fashion, but I know I needed to read this post today.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad, Jen.
