Real Love

He said, “I don’t care if your hair turns gray. I didn’t fall in love with your hair; I fell in love with you. If it all fell out, I would love you anyway.”

Love based only on physical appearance is shallow and can never carry the weight of time. Does the Bible address this? Glad you asked.

I Peter 3:3-4

Do not let your adorning be external – the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, 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.

I’m not saying a little time shouldn’t be spent in preparation in some situations. I’m saying the inside is of more value than the outside.

Give it some thought.
