Dear Abby

The desire for beauty is built into both men and women by our Creator who also loves beauty. Enjoying sunsets and sunrises, observing the emergence of flowers in the spring and bird-watching, convinces us of God’s love for beauty. There are many references to beauty and the adornment of beautiful brides in Scripture. So we know that the pursuit and cultivation of beauty is not in itself an evil thing. But we’ve all experienced the pain of allowing a good thing to become a wrong priority in our lives, so that it becomes deadly destructive. Trying to be “beautiful enough” becomes a powerful, insatiable “beast” that takes control of life.
