Day 9 "You Are Lovely"
Good Morning Beauties!
What has God been saying to you about the attribute of your Loveliness? Do you see that it contains strength alongside gentleness? Similar is the phrase often said about Jesus, “The Lion and The Lamb”. Jesus has the power to defeat any foe, and yet He laid down His life as the sacrificial Lamb to save us.
One of my favorite books in the Bible is Song of Solomon. It’s a romantic love story of Christ and His Bride, and reading it for the first time is when I began to realize just how much He really does love me. The revelation of Christ’s love changed me forever. I particularly love the following passage…
“For you are my dove, hidden in the split-open rock. It was I who took you and hid you up high in the secret stairway of the sky. Let me see your radiant face and hear your sweet voice. How beautiful your eyes of worship and lovely your voice in prayer.” Song of Solomon 2:14 The Passion Translation
Jesus kept me safe from harm by placing me in the cleft of the rock, but is now calling me to come out and be who He created me to be. He sees my beauty and wants to hear what I have to say through my pleasing voice. It’s a beautiful picture.
How is God choosing to speak to you about your Loveliness? Selah.
