A Loving appeal to those that wear makeup

Could you please let God know that He REALLY messed things up when He created woman and gave her the desires that He did? The desire for beautiful things, soft things, lacey, frilly things. Colorful things, pretty things.

It's because of this that makes me a woman. And different from you, a man.

I love to make my house nice, my hair nice, to dress nice, and to wear make-up that enhances my own beauty. I want everything to be beautiful.

How dare God create us with that???




If you ask me, it's those that refrain, calling it Godly, that are actually fighting against the very nature that God created in them.

I come from a UC background too. All I can say is that there isn't any Scripture prohibitting makeup. However, modesty, as with our clothing (not talking about dress codes) should be considered. Just don't over do it.

What truly separates us from the world isn't how we look... it's how we live and behave. Obey these ten simple "standards"... and you'll be as separate as God intends you to be. But be cautious... obeying these ten standards can't save you... only Jesus can:

I

Thou shalt have no other gods before Me (Believe in ONE God)
II
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image (Do not participate in idolatry)
III
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord
thy God in vain, for the Lord will not
hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain (Reverence the name of Jesus)
IV
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy (Set time aside for worship at least once a week)
V
Honor thy father and thy mother,
that thy days may be long upon the land
which the Lord thy God giveth thee (Honor your parents and value family)
VI
Thou shalt not murder (Honor life and do not seek to kill or assinate one's character)
VII
Thou shalt not commit adultery (Be faithful to your spouse both inwardly and outwardly)
VIII
Thou shalt not steal (Respect other people's property and do not take it)
IX
Thou shalt not bear false witness
against thy neighbor (Always be of honest report)
X
Thou shalt not covet (Be thankful for what you have and don't be consumed with lust and materialism)

Now that's separation God's way.
