Hidden Adornment

Jan13

Your adornment must not be merely external . . . but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.
1 Peter 3:1, 4 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1pe.3.1-4.NASB1995

A beautifully adorned woman can, when opening her mouth, be less beautifully adorned.

What is hidden in your heart?

But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man. (or woman)

Brokenhearted

Sep24

The Lord is near to the brokenhearted And saves those who are crushed (contrite) in spirit.
Psalms 34:18 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.34.18.NASB1995

The road that Jesus walked was not an easy one but He did it for our sake and the Father’s glory.
He can relate to the brokenhearted and understands the crushed in spirit.
God wants to repair, heal us, but we must come to Him with a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart.
Come to Jesus with sincere remorse and be healed. He is our Deliverer.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.

Philippians 4:5 NASB1995‬

Do you have a gentle spirit? Have you ever thought about where a gentle spirit comes from?
