Day 1 "You Are Beautiful"
Good Morning Beauties!
Welcome to our Mother’s Day journey! I’m so excited to celebrate mothers today and to ponder the similarities between our loving moms and God’s love. I think of unconditional love that allows a mother to overlook bad behavior and deeply love her child. I also believe moms will lay down their lives for their children - no greater love. We love our mothers and thank God for them!
I want to be sensitive to those Beauties who have not been blessed with a loving mother for whatever reason. Mother’s Day can be especially tough. I pray you will grieve and process through those emotions with your Abba Father. It’s helpful to remember the loving women God has brought into your life to love you and care for you. Let’s celebrate them today.
A good place to start our journey is to ask, “What is beauty?” How do we define it? It has many aspects; consider external and internal beauty of a person, the beauty found in nature, the beauty of a song, of a painting, and the list goes on. Create your list of things that help define beauty for you. Since we’ll be discovering what Jesus wants us to know about our own beauty through the 40 day experience, it’s important to take time and journal about your current ideas and beliefs.
Next spend time with Jesus and listen as He speaks to your mind and heart. What does He want you to know about your beauty? There may be some lies planted in your mind long ago by the enemy. Will you allow Jesus to reveal them to you, no matter how painful? The revelation will lead to your transformation. Are you willing to open yourself up to Jesus for this process? Selah (Stop, think, and ponder these things.)
As much as our mothers love us, there is one who loves us even more - God. Let the truth of this song wash over you and bring you into a deeper relationship with Jesus.
