As I was standing
in front of the mirror the other day I was having one
of those, “Ugghh this is
as good as it’s going to get” kind of days.
My hair wasn’t working right, I looked tired no matter how much make-up
I applied, I was feeling like just, Uhgghh! That’s the best I can explain it. Do
you ever have those days?
Suddenly I got a quick flash of a picture of myself in a
beautiful wedding gown and a gentle voice whispered to me “This is how I see
you every day.” Tears began to well up
in my eyes and I realized something. He
doesn’t see our flaws the way we see them.
He made us. He made us
beautiful. Each and every one of us. How
can the creator of all things that exist, make a mistake?
Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out; you formed me in my mother’s womb.
I thank you, High God—you’re
breathtaking!
Body and soul, I am marvelously made!
I worship in adoration—what a creation!
You know me inside and out,
you know every bone in my body;
You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculpted from nothing into something. Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth;
all the stages of my life were spread out before you,
The days of my life all prepared
before I’d even lived one day.
PSALM 139:13-16 MSG
Why do we want to cover up with makeup, something that he created to be so beautiful? Yet, daily we cover up this beauty with makeup? Why? This push to be flawless, when we are already flawless in our Father’s eyes.
“You are altogether
beautiful, my love; there is no flaw in you.”
He loves you. He made you the way you are. Those negative feelings,
those lies, are not
truth. They are LIES. They will crush you, deceive you and make you feel
small. That’s right where the enemy
wants you. Our Father wants to
encourage, LOVE you & lift you up.
When those negative thoughts start floating in, you know the ones. The ones that tell you how alone you are, how
you can’t do anything right, the voice of comparison telling you everyone else
is better than you are, blah, blah. Do you know what do with that nagging
voice? Command it to leave in JESUS name
and get excited. They will leave as fast
as the words slip off your tongue. It’s
amazing! With Jesus, your BFF, on your side, you have the power.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE *
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL* YOU ARE A GREAT MOTHER * YOU ARE A WOMAN OF VALUE * YOU ARE WORTHY *
* YOU ARE ENOUGH!*
