Outward appearance reigns supreme in our time and men and women alike take great interest in outward appearances. No one, however, will have an objection to the fact that the inside of an individual is more important than the outward appearance.
Beautifying of ones inside requires for him to live by Gods Word. As much as the truth has settled in his heart, blessings and outward appearance will come his way as a bonus. Stern appearances will transform into good and fair appearances, and the faces that had once been covered in anxiety and worries will illuminate in the spiritual light (Ecclesiastes 8:1). Even ordinary-looking facial features will earn a favorable impression from others.
