September 24: Lash Stylists Day
Established in 2017, Lash Stylists’ Day was devised to help offer a shout out and thanks to professional eyelash stylists. It’s designed to both show some love from clients and also for those in the industry themselves to celebrate and encourage others to learn more about it. No doubt, it was started by a group of stylists in California.
I have often puzzled over the jealousy expressed by so many women over boys who have beautiful and long lashes. I’m sure it’s like me being jealous of guys who are ripped with six-pack abs! Regardless of our sex, we all want to be beautiful or handsome, to be attractive. The trap is set!
Our enemy, our diabolically evil and hateful enemy lures us into thinking that what matters is on the outside. And we fall for it. Spurred on by advertising and our celebrity crazed culture, we want to be attractive, at least more attractive than someone else. Despite our quickness to believe Satan’s lies, we know the truth.
1 Peter 3:3-4: “Do not let your
adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry,
or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the
heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's
sight is very precious.” 1 Samuel
16:7: “But the Lord said to
Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because
I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward
appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”
Again and again, we are encouraged to work on our
hearts, not our bodies. What truly
matters is a beautiful mind, a winsome spirit, a handsome heart. Again, this is not new information. But we need to regularly break the strangle
hold that the world’s thinking has on us.
Today, remind yourself of this. Strive
for inner beauty and strength. Lash
stylists notwithstanding, tend to your heart.
