RE: TO BE LIKED OR TO BE RESPECTED
Very nicely expressed.
Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel— rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.
The beauty of appearance will necessarily fade with age, regardless of how vigorously cultivated. The beauty of the heart, if cultivated in godliness, can increase throughout one's lifetime. If you win the man with what is fleeting, how will you keep such a shallow man interested? If you win him with a heart of godliness that grows with each beat, he'd be a fool to jeopardize that.
This is so beautiful! All the words are full of wisdom.
We should not focus on how the public will see us, what matters the most is how God is seeing us.
Time will come that our youthful skin will get saggy and no amount of expensive accessories can hide the signs of aging, but a good heart will always remain.
Let us shine with our good personality. Popularity fades easily, let people remember us by how respectable we are. Let us prove that we are worthy to be respected. :)
