Got
Botox? A lot of people do. Some take Botox treatments for health matters, but
many take them because they want to look young again.
Appearance
is so important to some Botox users that they allow themselves to be injected
with botulinum toxin type A so that their wrinkles will disappear for a while.
Later, the treatment must be administered again.
Botox is
expensive, and it comes with possible negative side effects. But that doesn’t
stop people from giving it a try so they can look better.
Of
course, looking good is not a bad thing, but a more important consideration is
how we look on the inside. How much are we willing to sacrifice to have
beautiful character?
Are we
willing to take some “Botox for the soul”—to inject ourselves with the kind of
loving gentleness, merciful patience, caring interest in others, unselfish
kindness, and unity of spirit that can beautify our lives? (Eph. 4:2-3).
Are we willing to keep coming back to God for help in getting the spiritual
character enhancement we need?
Looking for ways to look good? Search the Bible for character-building verses. Then through prayer and the Spirit’s empowering, inject the godly traits of those verses into your life. The side effects are all good.
