The saying "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder," goes to say that defining beauty can be tough. However, God's words can lead us to discover what our individual meaning of beauty truly is and should be; that is deter from looking at physical appearance for God looks at the heart in all people and things. Use these Bible verses to find the real beauty in yourself, others, and what surrounds us.

Matthew 23:28 NIV

28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.

James 1:23 NIV

23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror.

This does not look complete to me, doesn't compute. It could mean many things. He can see many things, see what he wants to see, make himself to be more handsome in his own eye than he really is; or he can see without really seeing. I have heard of several guys in recovery who shaved in the shower rather than look at themselves in the mirror because they couldn't face themselves. So many times we have a false sense of self and see ourselves as ugly, I know I did. Some of the most beautiful people in the program, have the lowest self-esteem and have no sense of self, while others are totally full of themselves.
