Day 9 "You Are Lovely"
Good Morning Beauties!
Do you see it? Strength and Gentleness all together as one...True Loveliness. Do you believe it?
I love Springtime!. I love watching delicate flowers push through the dark hard earth to populate the world with color. Their determination is inspiring! These little beauties are not defeated by a struggle, no, not at all. They know what they've be created to be and created to do, and will not let difficulty deter their mission.
We too are God's creation. When we are confident in who He's made us to be and what our purpose is on Earth, we don't let the lies of the enemy stand in our way. We move forward with Truth in our hearts. The struggle is real; the battle is real - but we can put our confidence in Christ who strengthens us.
The Message Bible paints a picture we can readily understand, when Paul speaks of His affliction, "Satan’s angel did his best to get me down; what he in fact did was push me to my knees. No danger then of walking around high and mighty! At first I didn’t think of it as a gift, and begged God to remove it. Three times I did that, and then He told me,
My grace is enough; it’s all you need.
My strength comes into its own in your weakness.
Once I heard that, I was glad to let it happen. I quit focusing on the handicap and began appreciating the gift. It was a case of Christ’s strength moving in on my weakness. Now I take limitations in stride, and with good cheer, these limitations that cut me down to size—abuse, accidents, opposition, bad breaks. I just let Christ take over! And so the weaker I get, the stronger I become." 2 Corinthians 12:8-10
How has God balanced your Loveliness these past few days? Has He softened you? Has He empowered you? How will you respond? Selah.
Love and Blessings,
Kendra
