I'll share some of the thoughts I had in reserve, cuz I'm too flustered to think right now.
1. Growing up as the fat kid with a wicked tongue yet a hopelessly romantic heart, I had a lot of ideas about what beauty was. Obviously, it wasn't all about the physical, in fact, only a small part of it dealt with physical beauty. I mean, look at the word, physical beauty inherently means that physical is just a subset of absolute beauty.
I never thought of it as being a reflection of God's moral excellence, but I just expected that when I would see true beauty, there would be a soft, radiant glow from whatever person that came from their actions, dispositions, and character. Kind of like that quiet elegance that Japanese women seem to radiate.
However, this beauty was exclusive. There were a select few who would be able to meet these criteria. It was the pinnacle of any sort of appeal.
And then it hit me recently that I've never really applied these grandiose ideals to myself. I've always been too preoccupied with my physical appearance and my physical flaws. But it's time to take some of my own advice. Maybe we'll strive for moral excellence. Or maybe just a kindness and love that flows from the innermost of my being.
2. I need to take lots of all my different kinds of medicine.
