1 Peter 3:3-4   New English Translation

3 Let your beauty not be external—the braiding of hair and wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes— 4 but the inner person of the heart, the lasting beauty of a gentle and tranquil spirit, which is precious in God’s sight.

Deep within or …

The hidden person of the heart, why does it sound so secret?

Do I know this Person well? Do I often communicate with Him?

Why is He hiding daily from me and regularly not from others?

Who able to see Him alive and well and even more appreciate Him?

An incorruptible beauty that seems truly a part of me

And I don’t even know it? Oh! Brother ain’t I smart?

And God gave the Spirit, Who reaches out to perfection?

And I can’t comprehend living my chosen-appointed part?
