From Gary... The choice of....

Beauty is skin deep, but sin extends to the remotest portions of the heart.  Don't be fooled by a pretty face- wait 60 years and look hard; you just won't find it!!!  However, their is a cure for deep down ugliness and it comes from God....

Proverbs, Chapter 2 (World English Bible)
 1 My son, if you will receive my words,
and store up my commandments within you;
  2 So as to turn your ear to wisdom,
and apply your heart to understanding;
  3 Yes, if you call out for discernment,
and lift up your voice for understanding;
  4 If you seek her as silver,
and search for her as for hidden treasures:
  5 then you will understand the fear of Yahweh,
and find the knowledge of God.
  6 For Yahweh gives wisdom.
Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.

  7 He lays up sound wisdom for the upright.
He is a shield to those who walk in integrity;
  8 that he may guard the paths of justice,
and preserve the way of his saints.
  9 Then you will understand righteousness and justice,
equity and every good path.

  10 For wisdom will enter into your heart.
Knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.

  11 Discretion will watch over you.
Understanding will keep you,
  12 to deliver you from the way of evil,
from the men who speak perverse things;
  13 who forsake the paths of uprightness,
to walk in the ways of darkness;
  14 who rejoice to do evil,
and delight in the perverseness of evil;
  15 who are crooked in their ways,
and wayward in their paths:


Evil may appear in many forms; one of them is the deceptive external beauty of youth.  Sin may seem like "fun", but it kills!!!  We all grow older and some of us may even attain to "old age", but the person who knows God will delight in the light of God and not in the blackness of evil.  You choose.
