THE TRUE BEAUTY AND COLOUR: ARE IN THE FAITH WITHIN YOU!
“. . . 14 I will give thanks and praise to You, for I am FEARFULLY and WONDERFULLY MADE; WONDERFUL are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. 15 My FRAME was not hidden from You, When I was being formed in secret, And INTRICATELY and SKILLFULLY FORMED [as if embroidered with many colors] in the depths of the earth . . .” Psalms 139:1-18 Amplified.
The true BEAUTY and COLOUR is in the FAITH you STAND upon WITHIN you in God. Meaning, what God in Christ Jesus has MADE you BE in Him. It’s the most awesome acknowledgment that can transform you for all eternity. It makes you take a stand and communicate your FAITH in God without doubts, shame, inferiority complex, phobia, dispute and any form of human reasoning and philosophy. I found it so, hence, I am emboldened to say so, as it’s written:
“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.
You are God MADE – a more than what a MAKE UP classification can MAKE you be. BEAUTY and COLOUR is of God, but let Your COLOUR AND BEAUTY be in Christ Jesus Stead. Let it be from your FAITH WITHIN and not from the mere OUTWARD DECORATION, COLOURING And BEAUTIFYING. Meaning, let the reckoning of who you ARE and BECOME, be TREASURED of the enabling BEAUTY AND COLOUR that’s being generated within you, such that when the OUTWARD is no more there, there’s no DIFFERENCE or INDIFFERENCE about you.
“He has MADE everything BEAUTIFUL and APPROPRIATE in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of DIVINE PURPOSE] in the HUMAN HEART [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 Amplified.
A mere physical BEAUTY and COLOUR is good, gracious, graceful, lovely and sweet, romantic and more as in – Song of Solomon 7:1-13; but will fade and weathered out with time as flower and grass just as most have come and gone with their glamour and celebrity applaud – Isaiah 40:6-8 and 1 Peter 1:24-25. Let the DEFINITION of your BEAUTY and COLOUR be drawn in LIFE and GRACE as given to ladies – the female folks especially and all afterwards – in the light of the Holy Writ Scriptures, on the how to showcase the ESSENCE of Christ Jesus in them – 1 Timothy 2:8-10 and 1 Peter 3:1-12.
I know some religious and traditional people can only remember direct quote of the proverbial that BEAUTY is VAIN in context (Proverbs 31:30), without UNDERSTANDING the context and more, so forgetting that God Himself, the creator of all things known and unknown, made ALL THINGS BEAUTIFUL in His creative TIMELESS timeline realm of His BLESSEDNESS – Ecclesiastes 3:11. May it be noted also, that the feet, pathway, walkway and life spring of those who proclaim the GOSPEL of peace – which is of God in Christ Jesus, are BEAUTIFUL, COLOURFUL, lovely, gracious and graceful (Romans 10:15; Isaiah 52:7).
You ARE God Made into His BEAUTIFUL and COLOURFUL world of BLESSEDNESS, which is ONLY possible in Christ Jesus, irrespective of your circumstances, situations and classification. Only let it be resolved in you that God does loves and cares about you in everyway in His grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“He has MADE everything BEAUTIFUL and APPROPRIATE in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of DIVINE PURPOSE] in the HUMAN HEART [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 Amplified.
“. . . 14 I will give thanks and praise to You, for I am FEARFULLY and WONDERFULLY MADE; WONDERFUL are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. 15 My FRAME was not hidden from You, When I was being formed in secret, And INTRICATELY and SKILLFULLY FORMED [as if embroidered with many colors] in the depths of the earth . . .” Psalms 139:1-18 Amplified.
“I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, WITHOUT WRATH AND DOUBTING. 9 In LIKE MANNER also, that women ADORN (DECORATE, BEAUTIFY, COLOUR) themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 10 but (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works” 1 Timothy 2:8-10 (Emphasis Mine).
“Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, IF ANY OBEY NOT THE WORD, they also may WITHOUT THE WORD BE WON by the CONVERSATION (CONDUCT) of the wives; 2 while they behold your chaste CONVERSATION (CONDUCT) coupled with fear (REVERENCE). 3 Whose ADORNING (DECORATE, BEAUTIFY, COLOUR) let it not be that OUTWARD ADORNING (DECORATION, BEAUTIFYING, COLOURING) of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 4 but let it be the HIDDEN MAN OF THE HEART, in that which is not corruptible, even the ORNAMENT OF A MEEK AND QUIET spirit, which is in the sight of God of GREAT PRICE. 5 For AFTER THIS MANNER in the old time the HOLY WOMEN also, who TRUSTED in God, ADORNED (DECORATE, BEAUTIFY, COLOUR), being in subjection unto their own husbands: 6 even as Sara OBEYED Abraham, CALLING him lord: WHOSE DAUGHTERS YE ARE, as long as ye DO well, and are not AFRAID with any AMAZEMENT. 7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, GIVING HONOUR unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being HEIRS TOGETHER OF THE GRACE OF LIFE; that your PRAYERS BE NOT HINDERED. 8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 9 not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; KNOWING THAT YE ARE THEREUNTO CALLED, that ye should INHERIT A BLESSING. 10 For he that will LOVE LIFE, AND SEE GOOD DAYS, let him REFRAIN his tongue from evil, and his lips that they SPEAK no guile: 11 let him ESCHEW evil, and DO good; let him SEEK peace, and ENSUE it. 12 For the EYES of the Lord are over the righteous, and his EARS are open unto their PRAYERS: but the FACE of the Lord is AGAINST them that DO evil” 1 Peter 3:1-12/ Amplified.
“For all things ARE for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. 16 For which cause we faint not; but though our OUTWARD man perish, yet the INWARD man is RENEWED day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18 while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal” 2 Corinthians 4:15-18.
“Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 23 being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by THE WORD of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 25 but THE WORD of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is THE WORD which by the gospel is PREACHED unto you” 1 Peter 1:22-25.
