Proverbs 31:30- "CHARM IS DECEPTIVE and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised."
This is the verse of the week. Charm Is Deceptive is the first post about how girls/people put on masks of charm to be misleading and get what they want, instead of doing things the right way.
Charm=
1. The power of pleasing or attracting, as through personality or beauty.
2. A trait or feature imparting this power.
3. Attractivness
Deceptive=
1. Apt or tending to decieve
2. Perceptually misleading
The American dictionary tell us that charm is attractiveness, and deceptive means misleading. Since the bible tells us that charm is deceptive, it is saying that a person who gets their power and influence from the way they look on the outside is most often misleading, because they are ugly on the inside.
It is said all the time that the most beautiful girls are also the meanest, and very often that is true. Make sure today and throughout your life that you are concentrating more on what's in your heart than what's on your body. Let the Lord be your source of approval.
Remember to measure up to God's standard, not the world's. You are beautiful, even if you don't own a pair of Miss Me jeans or have the latest hairstyles. If your heart is pure and you are living for God, than the charm you have is worthy of praise.
Matthew 6:28-29 "And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lillies of the field and how they grow. They don't work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are."

Well spoken. I am so proud of both my granddaughters. They know their significance comes from their relationship with Jesus, and not from their looks. The Bible says in I Samuel 16:7 "Man looks on the outward appearance but God looks on the heart."
