Good Morning Beauties!
Let’s start by looking how far we’ve come so far! We’ve completed the three days of preparation and the first five days of the journey. We have far to go, but let’s not forget the work we’ve done, and how the Lord has already worked in us.
Today we begin to discover all God has for us regarding the attribute “lovely.” What’s the first thing you think about when you hear the word? Is this a word you often use? I enjoy speaking in an English accent, and in that culture, the word is used a lot. In America, we use the word “great” for everything. I use it myself several times daily.
There’s something special about the word lovely. The root word is love, so that right there makes it a Godly word in my opinion. When I googled the difference between “lovely” and “beautiful,” here’s what I found. “As adjectives the difference between lovely and beautiful is that lovely is inspiring actual love or lovely can be worthy to be praised while beautiful is attractive and possessing charm.”
We are lovely and inspire love. What makes us lovely in the first place is being filled with the Spirit. Jesus lives in us, so we have love Himself residing in us. He is what makes us lovely and draws people to Him through us. Who do you know that walks in a room, and everyone is immediately drawn to? Could you describe them as lovely? What makes them so?
If you are a Christian, if you know Christ, you are also lovely. His love flows from you and draws people to Himself. Do you believe it? Can you see yourself beholding such loveliness? If not, what lie is standing in the way of God’s truth? Selah.
Let us praise and adore the God of Heaven who made us and has filled us with His love!
