What makes you attractive?

CNN has a report on their website about the skin-care industry targeting young adults to use their products before they "need" to use them (like when they are an "ancient" 45 years old...).

If someone wants to use anti-aging creme when they are only 22, that's fine with me. But I wonder - is that person putting in the same amount of time and energy and effort to also be inwardly attractive?

What about you? Is your focus on your outward appearance (skin, clothes, hair, car, job, schedule, friends, etc.)? Or are you giving priority to the inner world (spirit, mind, humility, love, peace, joy, hope, faith, courage, wisdom, etc.)? Because God is REALLY attracted to who you are more than he is to what you look like.

"The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." 1 Samuel 16:7b (NIV)
