May those who love You
Be like the sun when it
Rises in its strength.
Judges 5:31
From my journal: May 18, 2005 Seaside, Florida
The sun is starting to set and the ocean is no longer emerald green. It takes the sun shining on it to show its true beauty. The ocean is still pretty, but when the sun is shining it is spectacular.
We as women are the most beautiful when God is shining through us. Many women turn to their culture’s standard of beauty to decide if they are attractive. When our focus is on God and His presence is shining in our lives, we are beautiful. “The King is enthralled with your beauty; honor him, for he is your Lord.” Psalm 45:11
Instead of looking at what we think are flaws, let’s look to the Lord. Challenge: Everyday say, “I am beautiful. I am created in the image of God.” Genesis 1:27
“God wants to unveil our face, showing the beauty in us to everyone…”
For the beautiful ones in my life: my sisters, cousins and friends
I need to print that out & paste it on the bathroom mirror.
Yes, He does make us beautiful when we let Him shine on us! I’m really trying to let this happen daily by spending time talking to the Holy Spirit and reading/studying God’s word.
Why is it so hard to keep up this dicipline on a daily basis when I almost always feel amazingly fulfilled after I’ve done it?????????????
