Since the 1990's, cosmetic procedures have increased drastically, and one of the most popular is Botox injections used by millions of people to remove wrinkles.
Wrinkles occur when DNA is damaged by aging. But DNA is also damaged by stress.
Remarkably, studies show that people who accept their circumstances and make the best of them don't suffer as much DNA stress damage!
That’s why we need “Philippians 4:8-9 Therapy" prescribed by the prisoner Paul who lived under constant stress.
“whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things…And the God of peace will be with you.” (Philippians 4:8-9)
The condition of our skin and our DNA are not nearly as important as the condition of our hearts and souls, and that's why, no matter our age, we should be reminding ourselves of our blessings.
It gives us the kind of perspective that makes us more beautiful inside and out!

ReplyDeleteThat is one of my favorite Bible verses. All the things that go on in my daily life can be stressful and I forget what is truly important. Sometimes I need to be reminded. Thanks for sharing Gail!
