Instead, focus on who you are on the inside — the real you that can't be damaged or taken away. A gentle, peaceful spirit is like the most beautiful jewelry you could ever wear, and God sees it as absolutely priceless.

You were absolutely covered in gold and silver jewelry, wearing the finest clothes — linen, silk, everything custom embroidered. Your meals were gourmet — the best bread, honey, olive oil. You became stunning, like next-level beautiful, and grew into a whole kingdom.

God gave them something absolutely gorgeous and set it up to be honored and respected. But instead, they turned it into a place for making disgusting idols and all kinds of stuff that totally goes against everything God stands for. So God said 'I'm done' and took it all away from them.
