Day 9 "You Are Lovely"
Good Morning Beauties!
What are you learning about "lovely" this week? What has God revealed to you about the Truth of this attribute?
I'm learning though we may seem "soft" in our appearance and actions, our soul (mind, will and emotion) can be very strong as we trust in the Lord to obey His instruction.
A perfect example is Mary, the mother of Jesus, in the Bible. A humble 15 year old girl who is told she is to bear the Christ. We've all heard the story of how her pregnancy cast shame on her and her future husband, Joseph. The townspeople were out to stone her for what they thought was fornication. Do you think she thought far into what may happen when she told the angel, "be to me according to your word"? Or do you think she blindly said, "yes" to whatever the Lord would ask of her? Selah.
Mary would also trust God to provide her strength as she bore and raised Jesus. The ultimate challenge to her obedience was watching Him die on a cross. Humility and Strength...Mary was indeed Lovely.
Do you have a "Mary" in your life who you can look to for an example of humility and strength? How do you see her soft and strong sides? Perhaps you could reach out today and let her know what an encouragement she is to you and your walk with God.
Love and Blessings,
Kendra
