Lady of Virtue

Did the quiz of the next chapter. This time round I'm not at the more than 31 points. I'm under the "LONGING FOR MORE (17-31 points)" It's quite saddening but it encourages me to be more like God. To be a more virtuous woman. It says that:

You know the inside matters more than the clothing you wear or the way you style your hair. You know that good guys care about more than appearance and that you wouldn't really want to be with someone who was appearance-oriented, but you haven't met many guys who fit that description. You wonder if they really exist and, if they do, whether you'd be good enough to catch one. So you find yourself trying to look beautiful, just like the other girls, but so often feeling empty on the inside. Jesus wants you to remember that He is your bridegroom, and He longs to see the beauty of godly character formed within you. He promises you that the more you cultivate virtue, the more fulfilled you will be. No longer will you feel defined by your physical qualities, but by your relationship with God and His goodness flowing through you. You will find the joy of inner beauty-and (whether you marry or not) you will discover that godly men are far more attracted to the pearls of inner beauty than to the costume jewelry of outer beauty.
