My skin may not be flawless <br />My eyes might not be… the right shade of blue <br />But what I have… that some others do not <br />Is the deepest love of God for you. <br /> <br />For you see only peoples exterior values <br />And haven’t taken the time… to look within. <br />To see that my life has been renewed <br />And that God has forgiven me of my sins. <br /> <br />All ones outwardly loveliness… thought <br />Will all one day fade away from view. <br />But what will really remain forever in eternity <br />Is what Christ has done in you. <br /> <br />Had you surrender all of yourself to Him? <br />Did you help your neighbor when called? <br />Did you feed the hungry…cloth the naked? <br />Did you do anything... for mankind and God at all? <br /> <br />This is the beauty… our Lord sees <br />Not the fleshly house we all strut about. <br />It’s all but hay and stubble to God <br />But the beauty that lives for within…must show out.<br /><br />Linda Winchell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beauty-is-only-skin-deep-2/
