Beautiful. Kind. Brave. Confident. Attractive. Successful.
Happy. Healthy. Joyful. Encouraging. Worthy. Loved. Handsome. Fit. Fulfilled. Positive.
Secure. Respected. Nurtured. Articulate. Desirable. Blessed. Which of these
adjectives do you use to describe yourself? Social media and some people around
us have created an atmosphere where we don’t see many positive things about
ourselves. Many of us constantly compare ourselves to others and ultimately
resolve that we are not and cannot be many of those things. Be assured, that such thinking is a false
reality.
“Let the King be enthralled by your beauty; honor him, for he is your
Lord.” - Psalm 45:11
We have already been given the resources to be all of those adjectives
listed. The issue we often face is that we don’t believe those things for
ourselves, so we spend much of our time pretending to be something or someone which
we are not. What’s worse is that we spend too much time pretending to be something
we are not meant to be. We have the complete ability to enthrall God. God knows
our every thought. He sees our every action (those done in public and those
done in private). He hears our every word. With those things, we have the
ability to captivate His heart and attention.
Note that He is enthralled by both our internal and external
beauty. What we allow to enter our
minds, bodies, and souls will naturally become a part of our exterior. So we
need to be wise in the things that we partake in and the people we allow to
enter our lives. It’s in this wise decision making that we honor Him. When we
allow God to sit as our foundation, we honor Him. When we choose to follow
after God and to embrace His perception of us instead of the world’s perception
of us, we honor God.
To create balance in our lives and to move forward and to be
the princes and princesses that we were created to be, we need to let go of our
insecurities and be constantly reminded of how precious we are in the sight of
God. We need to embrace ourselves the way God sees us. We are beautiful, kind,
brave, confident, attractive, successful, happy, healthy, joyful, encouraging, worthy,
loved, handsome, fit, fulfilled, positive, secure, respected, nurtured,
articulate, desirable, and blessed.
