Responding to the way our culture exalts its ideal images of
the attractive and sexy, one female commentator responded:- Every woman is beautiful!
Actually, I agree. It’s not so much because every woman is physically beautiful, but rather because
each woman is endowed by her Creator with an inalienable inner female beauty
that no amount of aging can diminish.
I therefore wondered how this commentator could justify her secular
assertion. Did she have physical beauty in mind? If so, I don’t see how she
could make such a case. Physical beauty fades! Did she have inner beauty/character
in mind? If so, it is patently obvious that some women have a more winsome
character than others.
However, the Bible teaches that what we are transcends human
appraisal and our comparative assessments. However this worth is an invisible
worth that perhaps only God sees. It is only on here that we are freed from the
ruthless assessments of society and the clawing opinions of others.
Without this freedom, we remain enslaved, co-dependent, and undermined by the way others treat us and confer value upon us.
