It is tempting to build your life on your outward appearance. Many fall into this trap and this is why millions of dollars are spent every year on botox, face-lifts, and other types of plastic surgery. Looking like a 20-something doesn't last forever, yet many try to maintain an impossible appearance.
Charm and flattery may gain some immediate attention, but once a person's real character is detected, those who were at first attracted to you are gone. Let's face it, superficial relationships don't last.
Instead, we should focus on that which lasts forever and appreciates over time. Our walk with the Lord, is the only eternal quality we carry through this life. As we age, our looks may depreciate... but if we are walking with the Lord, our inner character improves.
