1 Peter 3:3 and 4, “Let not yours be the outward adorning with braiding of hair, decoration of gold, and wearing of robes. But let it be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable gold of a gentle and quiet spirit, which, in God’s sight, is very precious.” Some of us decorate ourselves with gold and silver, putting on expensive things. But that’s not the beauty Saint Peter is talking about. The beauty that he is talking about is the beauty that comes from within. The compassionate beauty that is loving and thinks good of others.

Give Back and Serve
Some of us don’t realize the talents and treasures God has given to us. We better set out to find out the talents and the treasures the Lord has endowed on us. Be different from the steward who was given one talent, and he went and hid it. Let us be like those given ten talents, five talents, they doubled it! And the master said, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.” If you are the one who…
