Day 35 "And You Are Beautiful"
TRUTH
Hello Beauties!
Do you feel an excitement in your Spirit? We celebrate the birth of our dear Lord and Savior in just 5 more days. If we truly focus on Jesus, and the Grace of God to send him to Earth to save us, this next few days will be glorious.
The world also has a pull on us at this time of year. It can be very exciting - getting together with loved ones, shopping in decorated stores, sharing Christmas stories, and the list goes on. It can also be very lonely for a lot of people who then suffer from depression. One thing I think all of us can say is that we’re very busy!!
Today, let’s prepare for the arrival of Jesus. Let’s cleanse our hearts from all sin, allow the Lord to restore extravagant joy, and be ready to share our salvation stories with those he leads us to this Christmas. Remember, we are his masterpiece - for sure, but we’re created to share the Good News to others.
Everything - EVERYTHING is for HIS GLORY!
Lord, hear our prayer…
1 “Have mercy on me, O God,
because of your unfailing love.
Because of your great compassion,
blot out the stain of my sins.
2 Wash me clean from my guilt.
Purify me from my sin.
3 For I recognize my rebellion;
it haunts me day and night.
4 Against you, and you alone, have I sinned;
I have done what is evil in your sight.
You will be proved right in what you say,
and your judgment against me is just.
5 For I was born a sinner—
yes, from the moment my mother conceived me.
6 But you desire honesty from the womb,
teaching me wisdom even there.
7 Purify me from my sins,and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Oh, give me back my joy again;
you have broken me—
now let me rejoice.
9 Don’t keep looking at my sins.
Remove the stain of my guilt.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God.
Renew a loyal spirit within me.
11 Do not banish me from your presence,
and don’t take your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and make me willing to obey you.
13 Then I will teach your ways to rebels,
and they will return to you.”
Psalm 51:1-13
O come let us adore him…
