AM I MORE BEAUTIFUL INSIDE THAN MADONNA

IF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT MADONNA THE FAMOUS SINGER - YOU PROBABLY WOULD NOT KNOW HER WELL ENOUGH TO TELL BUT IF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS - SHE MUST HAVE BEEN VERY SPECIAL TO RECEIVE THE GIFT OF BRINGING UP JESUS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR (FOR DETAILS SEE http://www.revival.com/ )

YOU DO NOT FEEL BEAUTIFUL INSIDE

HAVE YOU FOUND GOD - WHO LOVES YOU JUST THE WAY YOU ARE - FOR DETAILS SEE http://www.revival.com/

DO PEOPLE LOVE TO BE WITH YOU?

DO YOU MAKE OTHERS FEEL AT HOME AND COMFORTABLE
DO YOU CARE ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE
ARE YOU A GOOD LISTENER
DO YOU HAVE A POSITIVE OUTLOOK THAT CHEERS OTHERS UP
DO YOU MAKE JOKES THAT DON'T PUT OTHERS DOWN TO BE FUNNY

YOU LOOK LIKE A DUCK

BUT ARE CHARMING INSIDE - DOES THAT MATTER?
ABSOLUTELY!
THAT IS BETTER THAN BEING CHARMING ON THE OUTSIDE
AND HAVING THE BRAINS OF A DUCK

GOD IS A WORD YOU NEVER THINK ABOUT

AND YET GOD LOVES YOU UNCONDITIONALLY AND IS YOUR ONLY FATHER ON EARTH
FOR DETAILS SEE http://www.revival.com/

IF I SCRUB MY BRAINS WILL I BE SMARTER?

SO YOU ARE TAKING THE TIME TO TAKE STOCK AND RENEW YOUR MIND - THAT SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE SMARTER ALREADY
SO MANY PEOPLE CLUTTER THEIR MINDS AND LIVES WITH UNNECESSARY THINGS
IF YOU TAKE AN INVENTORY OF WHAT YOU HAVE YOU MAY BE SURPRISED THAT MORE OF ANYTHING IS NOT WHAT YOU NEED - YOU ALREADY HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH

IF YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL INSIDE - DOES IT SHOW OUTSIDE

YES, IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT A PERSON IN A WAY THAT IS NOT SUPERFICIAL
NO, IF YOU ONLY LOOK AT PEOPLE SUPERFICIALLY BY APPEARANCE FROM THE OUTSIDE ONLY

DO NOT CAST YOUR PEARLS BEFORE SWINE

THAT IS A QUOTE FROM THE BIBLE THAT IMPLIES NOT ALL PEOPLE WILL BE RECEPTIVE OF YOUR TREASURES
THERE IS NO FURTHER EXPLANATION BUT PERHAPS INNER BEAUTY IS ONE OF THE CRITERIA NEEDED

HOW DOES INNER BEAUTY MANIFEST

LOVING KINDNESS
FORGIVENESS
CARING
HONESTY
GENTLENESS
GENEROSITY
OPEN-MINDEDNESS
GOODNESS
PATIENCE
CONSIDERATION
POLITENESS
HELPFULNESS
SHARING
LEADERSHIP
FRIENDSHIP

CAN YOU BE TOO FAT OR SKINNY INSIDE?

WELL, THE LITERATURE SAYS THAT IF YOU ARE OVERWEIGHT YOU HAVE FAT THAT MAY CLOG ARTERIES AND VEINS AND PRESS ON ORGANS - HOWEVER SKINNY PEOPLE CAN ALSO HAVE CLOGGED VEINS FROM CHOLESTEROL SO IT IS NOT JUST THE OUTSIDE THAT COUNTS
IF YOU MEAN CAN YOU BE TOO FAT OR THIN SPIRITUALLY - SOME PEOPLE SHOW NO SPIRITUALITY AND MAY ALSO HAVE TROUBLE FINDING HAPPINESS, CAN A PERSON HAVE TOO MUCH HAPPINESS? HAVE NOT HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM - HAVE YOU?

IF GOD WAS A SAILOR, WOULD YOU BE A HORSE'S BEHIND?

DO YOU FIND YOURSELF NOT GETTING ANYWHERE IN LIFE?
DO YOU SEE OTHERS MOVING AHEAD WHILE YOU STAY BEHIND?
ARE YOU WAITING ON SOMEONE OR SOMETHING LIKE GOD OR A KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR BEFORE YOU GET A LIFE? (FOR MORE INFO SEE http://www.revival.com/ )

ARE YOUR INSIDES IMPORTANT IN LIFE?

IF YOU HAVE THE PERFECT BODY, IMAGE, AND LIFESTYLE WHO NEEDS INNER LIFE?
HAPPINESS REQUIRES A BODY TO PUT IT INSIDE
LONELINESS DOES NOT STRIKE SOMEONE WITH A FULL INNER LIFE
IF YOUR LIFE HAS A SETBACK - YOUR INNER LIFE SUSTAINS YOUR HEALTH AND WELLNESS
BOREDOM COMES FROM HAVING AN EMPTY INNER LIFE

IS THERE SLUDGE IN YOU OR ARE YOU THAWED OUT?

DO YOU WARM UP TO PEOPLE RIGHT AWAY OR IN A FEW YEARS?
ARE YOU A HAPPY, CHEERFUL, AND PATIENT PERSON WHO LOVES OTHERS OR ARE YOU AN ICICLE?
IS THERE ROOM IN YOUR HEART FOR JESUS (CHECK OUT http://www.revival.com/ FOR IDEAS), YOUR FRIENDS, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR CO-WORKERS, THE WORLD, OR ARE YOU BOOKED FOR TWENTY YEARS TO COME AND HAVE NO ROOM IN THE INN?

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL IF YOU CAN'T SEE YOURSELF?

WE KNOW HOW TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR - BUT HOW DO YOU LOOK INSIDE?
YOU DO WHAT YOU DO AND ARE SURPRISED WHEN OTHERS REACT WITH AMAZEMENT, DISBELIEF OR SOME OTHER REACTION - WAS THAT REALLY UNEXPECTED OR ARE YOU JUST NOT MONITORING WHO YOU REALLY ARE?

CAN YOU SING TO HAPPINESS?

SO YOU LISTEN TO MUSIC WHEREVER YOU GO - WHAT ABOUT SINGING ALONG UNTIL YOU REACH YOUR LEVEL OF JOY?
THERE ARE ALSO KARAOKE BARS ALL OVER WHERE YOU CAN TAKE THE MIKE AND PERFORM FOR YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS, OR GO BY YOURSELF SO THAT NO ONE KNOWS YOUR NAME AND YOU CAN PRACTICE BEFORE HITTING THE BIG TIME!

IS THERE ANYBODY HOME?

DO YOU FIND THAT YOU MUST DO SOMETHING EVERY WAKING SECOND OF THE DAY?
DO YOU FIND QUIET MOMENTS SCARY AND HAVE MUSIC OR TELEVISION ON ALWAYS IN THE BACKGROUND?
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT YOU DRAW A BLANK
WELL, MAYBE YOU ARE NOT HOME - SO, ARE YOU NOT CURIOUS TO FIND OUT WHO YOU REALLY ARE?

HOW DO SERVICE PEOPLE SEE YOU?

THEY ARE ALWAYS IN A HURRY
THEY TREAT ME LIKE GARBAGE OR I WASN'T A PERSON
THEY FIND FAULT WITH EVERYTHING
THEY REMEMBER ONLY BAD THINGS

WHAT DO YOU THINK INNER BEAUTY SOUNDS LIKE?

THE FLIP SIDE: HERE ARE SOME SOUNDS THAT SHOW IT IS MISSING
I HATE YOU
YOU ALWAYS...
SHUT UP

BESIDE THE BROOK LIES THE PASTURE

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD, HE MAKES ME LIE DOWN IN GREEN PASTURES

PEACE AND UNDERSTANDING COME FROM GOD NO MATTER WHAT YOUR UPHEAVAL OR CIRCUMSTANCES AS PROMISED BY GOD IN THE BIBLE (SEE REVIVAL.COM FOR SAMPLE PRAYERS TO RECEIVE THIS AND MORE)

REMEMBER TO WIPE YOUR FEET BEFORE COMING OUTSIDE

BEFORE YOU DUMP ON THE WORLD ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THAT IS BOTHERING YOU, CONSIDER THE FEELINGS OF OTHERS AND TAKE CARE TO BE LOVING AND KIND

HOW MANY PEOPLE DOES IT TAKE TO CHEER YOU UP?

YOU HAVE HEARD THE JOKE ABOUT HOW MANY PEOPLE IT TAKES TO SCREW IN A LIGHTBULB?

HOW MANY PEOPLE DO YOU NEED TO CHEER YOU UP EVERY DAY?
ARE YOU A MATURE AND SELF DIRECTED INDIVIDUAL WHO CAN TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN CONCERNS AND PROBLEMS EFFECTIVELY AND ONLY SEEK HELP WHEN NEEDED,
OR DOES IT TAKE AN ENTIRE ARMY PLUS PERHAPS A NUMBER OF PROFESSIONS TO KEEP YOU GOING FROM DAY TO DAY AS YOU ARE ALWAYS BREAKING DOWN NEEDING REPAIRS AND A BOOST IN YOUR MOOD?

DOES YOUR MOTHER KNOW YOU WITHOUT SEEING YOU

IF YOUR MOTHER WAS GIVEN A PARAGRAPH WRITTEN BY YOUR FRIENDS WOULD SHE BE ABLE TO PICK YOU OUT? CONTRASTING EXAMPLES BELOW

THIS PERSON HAS A GOOD HEART AND IS ALWAYS IN A GOOD MOOD TOWARD OTHERS AND THEMSELVES. YOU CAN HAVE AN OPEN RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM AND SAY ANYTHING THAT IS IN YOUR HEART BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT THEY WILL BE GENEROUS AND FORGIVE ANY MISTAKES YOU MAKE AND TAKE EVERYTHING WELL. IF THEY WERE NOT MY FRIEND I WOULD SEEK THEM OUT AND ASK THEM TO BE MY FRIEND BECAUSE THEY ARE HELPFUL, KIND, AND ADVANCE ME TO A HIGHER LEVEL IN MYSELF AS A HUMAN BEING WITH THEIR UPBEAT AND POSITIVE ATTITUDE TO LIFE

THIS PERSON HAS A GOOD HEART BUT IS CRABBY, YOU HAVE TO TIPTOE AROUND THEM AS THEY ARE ALWAYS WOUNDED BY SOMETHING THAT YOU DON'T EVEN NOTICE YOU HAD SAID MANY YEARS AGO LET ALONE IN THE PRESENT. IF THEY WERE NOT MY FRIEND, I WOULD NOT PICK THEM AS A FRIEND AGAIN BECAUSE THEY ARE HARD ON THE SOUL AS THEY ARE SO DESTRUCTIVE AND NEGATIVE TO THEMSELVES AND OTHERS WITH THEIR NEGATIVE ATTITUDE TO LIFE

WHAT DOES THE WORD BEAUTY MEAN TO YOU?

1. ARE YOU EXTERNALLY FOCUSSED ONLY
2. DO YOU SEE INNER BEAUTY IN OTHERS
3. IS YOUR PRIORITY ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE OR PEOPLE WHO ARE PRETTY ON THE INSIDE

ARE YOU BEAUTIFUL TO OTHERS?

DO PEOPLE WANT TO BE AROUND YOU BECAUSE YOU CHEER THEM UP?
DO PEOPLE WANT TO BE AROUND YOU BECAUSE YOU HELP THEM OUT?
DO PEOPLE LOVE TO SPEND TIME WITH YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE A FUN, POSITIVE PERSON?
DO YOU LIFT OTHERS UP, EVEN WHEN THINGS MAY NOT BE GOING SO WELL FOR YOURSELF?
DOES THE WORD CRABBY NEVER DESCRIBE YOU?

DO YOU EVEN SEE INSIDE YOURSELF?

DO YOU KNOW IF YOU BELIEVE IN GOD OR NOT?
DO YOU THEN FOLLOW THE TEACHINGS OF YOUR GOD IN LIFE?
DO YOU KNOW OFF HAND WHAT YOU DO EACH WEEK FOR GOD?
HOW DOES WHAT YOU BELIEVE AFFECT YOUR DAILY LIFE?
IF YOU HAVE NO BELIEFS, WHAT ARE THEY?

LOOK AT YOURSELF HONESTLY - ARE YOU BEAUTIFUL INSIDE NOW?

DO I STAND UP FOR WHAT IS GOOD FOR OTHERS EVEN IF THEY DO NOT WANT TO HEAR IT?
DO I HONOR MY GOD EVEN WHEN IT GETS DIFFICULT?
DO I BELIEVE THAT EVERYONE CAN DO WELL?
WILL I GO OUT OF MY WAY TO HELP OTHERS WHO NEED IT?
DO I SHARE MY GOOD FORTUNE WITH OTHERS?
AM I HAPPY FOR OTHERS WHEN THEY DO WELL?
