Words of Encouragement

Do you dress up on the outside by making sure your hair, make-up, and clothes are just right, but on the inside you are full of bitterness, resentment, jealously and pride? Physical looks can create a good impression, but it's even more important to look beautiful on the inside with a good attitude and pure heart. What's on the inside will shine through!
