Day 15 "And You Are Beautiful"
The Beauty of Long Life
Good Morning Beauties!
Proverbs 16:3 says, “Commit your work to the LORD, and your plans will be established.” Entrust all your work and activities to God so that He may cause them to bear fruit according to His will. This morning, I’m feeling quite ill, but I’m committed to my journey and this blog to encourage all the Beauties along their journeys. I pray Jesus will speak to you through a blogpost I wrote back in 2020. It seems rather fitting.
I’m hearing from God to stay on the topic of joy another day. He reminded me of a beautiful proverb which speaks of how joy relates to our physical, mental, and spiritual health. We’ve already looked at how gratitude produces joy, today let’s look at how joy produces good health.
As we’ve discovered over the past few days, joy brings freedom and peace. Can you imagine how good it is for your body, mind, and soul not to worry and carry so much stress? It’s nothing short of miraculous! Doctors and experts inform us how detrimental stress is to our overall health, but we’ve known that before the medical journals told us so. Just look at the scripture below. God taught us this truth centuries ago.
Before we move on to our next attribute, please grab your journal and make a list of what still stresses you out. Beside each one write your prayer and release it to God. Ask for the freedom you need in that particular area and accept the joy that comes from getting rid of it. Selah.
I love the photo above. You know this beauty has experienced much in her life. I’m sure it wasn’t all glamorous for her, and yet, when she’s obviously an old lady, she is still laughing, still full of joy, and SO BEAUTIFUL!! Perhaps that’s the reason why she’s lived a long life.
Let’s get up and add some healthy years to our lives by singing, dancing, and praising our Awesome God!
Love and Blessings,
Kendra
