May the beauty of you not be the external one, which consists of ornaments such as ostentatious hairstyles, gold jewelry and luxurious dresses. That its beauty is rather the incorruptible one, the one that comes from the intimacy of the heart and consists of a soft and peaceful spirit. It has a lot of value in the presence of God. Therefore, as the chosen one of God, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with affectionate affection and kindness, humility, kindness and patience.

Blessings theme of great blessing, to grow as Christians we are we must be people of good testimony, God is looking for people who seek him in spirit and truth with a humiliated heart before him. It is the time to change and reflect, letting the flesh die and the Holy Spirit live in us.
