Inner beauty

Today I saw an image of a simple black dress with absolutely no frills or adornments. Then a lady put it on, exuding genuine love and smiles. Instantly, the image was transformed to one of beauty and it was nothing to do with the dress. In the New Testament we are counselled to concentrate on our inner character and related actions, rather than on our physical appearance but it doesn't mean it is wrong to take care of our appearance. Our priorities and intentions matter. In those days, elaborate hairstyles and expensive jewellery were status symbols used to show social superiority. In that context, read these verses: "Do not let your adorning be external - the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewellery, or the clothing you wear - but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit which in God's sight is very precious" (1 Peter 3:3-4). If you were to describe a Godly person, would their hair and attire feature much in your description?
