The Real Meaning of Beauty



This is not it.

Something computer generated is not necessarily beautiful.

Real beauty comes from inside. It is found not by having the most beautifully sculpted nose or the thinnest waist.  It is found by helping others, by

People who should be considered beautiful usually do not have the worldly meanings of beauty.

However, they are usually told that in order to be considered beautiful, they have to look like this:


Because this is the way the world makes us view beauty, Dove surveyed women and girls worldwide and came across these alarming statistics:

Only 4% of women worldwide consider themselves beautiful

Only 11% of girls are comfortable using the word beautiful to describe themselves

72% of girls feel tremendous pressure to be beautiful

80% of women agree that every woman has something about her that is beautiful but do not see their own beauty

54% of women agree that they are their own worst beauty critic

How did the world get like this?

We are supposed to be beautiful by being righteous, by being kind, compassionate, caring, loving, and charitable. When a person is truly beautiful they have the light of Christ in their eyes.


She doesn't have the light of Christ in the before or after. It's sad. We think that people who have cold expressions and unnaturally thin waists are beautiful.


This is beauty. You can see she has the light of Christ in her eyes. She is beautiful.

Little children have this too. They have the purest spirits that you can see they have the light of Christ in them. Little children are beautiful.



She is beautiful.

"You don't have to prove your beauty

In the eyes of men.

You are divine within,

You were sent here to become

Like Him."

I want to be like Him, not like a cold-hearted computer generated model.

  1. Kelly. You are already miles above that woman at the start. Why no picture of you? You are beautiful, too :)

  2. I agree, why isn't there a picture of you? You have all that beauty and more. I love that song at the end by the way, it is one of my favorites. Just by talking to you when I can, I can already tell you are living your life by that motto. To become like Him.
