ASIDES THE BEAUTIFUL FACE, WHAT ELSE?
As a lady there is this great feeling that comes with having a beautiful
face that draws comments from people, and it even goes higher when you as a
person know you look good. There is usually this temptation to devote time and
energy to making sure no hair is out if its place and that you’re always on
fleek all of the time.
Beautiful ladies are all over the place and with the increase in
skin products where you can have any desired skin type; the job has really gotten
easier, and it seems the goal of every lady is to be beautiful on the outside while leaving every other aspect of life lacking. Looking good in itself is not a crime, buying skin product for your body, investing in exfoliating cream and other skin product to make the skin look better is not the challenge, but it becomes a crime when other aspect of life is left unattended to.
Recently a friend of mine celebrated his birthday, I called him to
felicitate with him, at some point I asked him how he celebrated his birthday,
he told me his cousin got married and that was where he spent his day. Coincidentally,
I also know a lady who was getting married that same day and it happened to be
that it was the same lady we were both talking about.
I didn’t know when I said 'your cousin has hit jackpot' and I
sincerely meant it. While that statement is not because of the beauty of the
lady or her parent’s social status, it was neck deep on the personality of the lady is herself.
There are some people that upon hearing they are getting married
or they just got married, you just summarize in your heart that their spouse
has hit raw gold, because knowing what you know about them, you can almost
see how great the future will be with God on their side.
Now to the beautiful lady, in what ways are you allowing yourself
to be groomed that when people hear you are getting married they can't help but
envy that lucky man.
In what ways are you also allowing yourself to be groomed that it
won't just be about what others are saying but the man himself will know he has
hit jackpot.
I know the epistle according to you have to look beautiful on the
outside because that is what most people see first, but with the beautiful
face, what else are you adding?
It's interesting to have a beautiful face and a body figure that
is great, but asides that what else will you be bringing to the table?
Just like being virgins alone as at the time of marriage is no
guarantee that a marriage will be successful (this is not to water down virginity AT ALL)
and because virginity alone cannot sustain a marriage does not mean we have to lose
our sexual purity stand, but in addition to your beautiful face, what else
should you add?
Let me share three things you can add to your beautiful face that
is guaranteed to make you stand out now, and also in the future.
1.
Add
Virtue & Character
Being virtuous has little to do with a beautiful face and more to
with the intrinsic parts of who that person is beyond the face value.
It's so disheartening to see that it’s almost as though the more
beautiful a lady is, the less virtuous she tends to be, and this is due to the
fact that she believes that there is nothing her beauty can't give to her and
the beauty can also allow her ride roughshod on others without caring whose
horse is gored.
Be virtuous, don't pretend to be virtuous, but you can start
imbibing this culture into your daily life.
The Bible has given us a breakdown of a virtuous woman; check it
out in Prov 31:10-31
Check the number of times when she did other things and then the
times she devoted to her physical appearance. You'll be surprised it's a
whopping ratio of 20:1.
This shows the importance of virtue.
Go out of your way to do things for people below your status
Help not just an eligible suitor but one who doesn't even look
eligible
Be a woman of solid character.
Ever seen a beautiful woman shouting at a restaurant attendant
before or a young lady insulting an elderly person in public, I'm pretty sure
at the moment you wouldn't really how beautiful she is but how much she lacks
character.
And like they say, character cannot be hidden for too long, just
like smoke; it has its way of always coming out of its hiding place
2.
Add Knowledge
Be knowledgeable, asides your beautiful face, what else do you
know about?
Asides drawing of eyebrows and adding lipstick on the mouth, know
what is going on.
Know what is going on in the career path you are treading, know a
little about politics, know a little about investment, know a little about real
estate, know a little about what it takes to buy a land and build upon it, know
a little about cars, know a little about venturing into a new business, know a
little about parenting, know a little about keeping a home, know a little about
managing people, just keep learning.
Just a little here and a little there, before you know it, you’ll
be able to hold intellectual conversation with people. Don’t just be an
extremely woman with little or nothing in her brain.
I heard about a man who was married to an extremely beautiful
woman, there was no doubt about the woman’s beauty at all, after a while, there
was a dinner party organized by his company and he was given ticket for two. He
had no challenge bringing his wife because he was sure other guys within the
company were definitely going to praise him for marrying such a beautiful
woman, the only challenge he knew he was going to have was when she opened her
mouth to talk. He knew how shallow she was in her thinking. She was extremely beautiful
on the outside but wasn’t knowledgeable on the inside.
Asides the joy it would bring to your spouse, it will help better
your life in no small way too.
You don’t want to be that type of woman .Know something about
everything.

Add the fear of God
Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the
Lord, she shall be praised.
It isn't enough to just have a beautiful face, but with the
beautiful face, have a great passion for the Lord.
Have you ever considered how much asset your beauty is to the
kingdom?
Through your beauty, you can even bring in people to the church,
they'll approach you because of the beautiful face you have, they'll follow you
to church for that same reason, and then the king of the kingdom will then take
them for himself.
Love God, love him with a reckless abandon both in your closet and
in the public. Don't be too beautiful to be associated with Him. You didn’t
make yourself, He made you that beautiful.
Trust God and not your beautiful face. If you're unmarried, ask
him for a man your beautiful face won't be able to give you.
The beauty itself will diminish with time, it is fleeting.
Ever seen a woman of 80
years before? I'm sure no man would want to woo her, so also, you'll become
like that one day, what will be left.
What else would you be able to give your home and the world at
large by the time the face is all wrinkled?
I read about a story late last year and one of the characters in
that story was an old woman, she only wasn’t old but was even still serving as
a spiritual pillar for her granddaughter as well as a mentor for a CEO, now
that’s the kind of woman I want to be and that is what the scriptures promise
us.
Psalm 92: 14
They will still bear fruit in old age; they will stay fresh and
green
With your beautiful face, add Character, Knowledge and the Fear of
the Lord.
