Day 1 "You Are Beautiful"
Beautiful Transformation
Happy Lord’s Day Beauties!
“My beloved speaks and says to me: “Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away…’”
Song of Solomon 2:10 (ESV)
The Lord is making a way for you to follow Him on this new journey. Do you feel His presence? You can trust Him. He is good and wants only good for you. In fact, the Bible says, “surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life.” Psalm 23:6 (NIV)
As we look at the today’s truth, “You Are Beautiful”, it’s important to establish a baseline to grow upon in your journey. It reminds me of an aerobics class I took in college. During the first class it was important to understand our current physical condition in order to improve it by the end of the semester. I’ll never forget having to see how many sit ups I could do in a minute. Oh my goodness! I made it to about 40 seconds before my muscles reached total fatigue. However, after working those same muscles for eight weeks, my physical condition had dramatically improved. That is my prayer for you during your journey, that your intimacy with Jesus and your belief in who you are in Him will dramatically improve.
So, let’s look at your baseline of belief. The place to start is by answering some simple, and yet, not so simple questions. Find a place in your journal to write down your answers. How do you define beauty? Do you mostly think about it as physical, inner being, or a combination of the two? Look at yourself in a mirror. What do you see first? Your imperfections or the beautiful way God designed you? Selah.
Once you’ve written down your answers, go back and reflect on how these thoughts make you feel. Is there any feelings you’d like to change? Selah.
Go before the Lord and ask Him to reveal where any painful feelings originated. Ask the Holy Spirit to come and minister to your heart and bring His comfort and peace. Selah.
You’re doing great, Beauty!! Keep your heart open to the truth God wants you to know. Let’s take a moment to stand in His presence and be washed with the truth of His goodness…
