Beautiful in God's eyes, adorned, free, glowing!
"For your husband is your Maker, Whose name is the LORD of hosts; And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel, Who is called the God of all the earth" Isaiah 54:5
We are on our way to HIS Kingdom!
We may travel rough roads, endure hardships and sometimes even fail Him
But, we have a rock, a refuge to lean upon as our bridegroom is Christ and he is omnipotent, omnipresent and loving.
We don't have to hide or wear masks.
We may think we do, we think if our lives don't measure up to others, (kids act out or misbehave, we mismanage our money, we don't keep our house the cleanest, we make poor career decisions, or we are too career oriented, we may be introverted or too loud and outspoken... the list goes on) We feel different, we hide and often feel like we must put on a mask to "fit in". In reality we all fall short, we all struggle in some form and we are in this journey together!
If we lived our life handing grace and acceptance out like candy, how much better other's would feel around us.
Human nature is a funny thing and really we just want to be accepted and loved for who we are.
So we don't have to feel like we never measure up because HE knows our deepest thoughts, the number of hairs on our head and he created us in His image.
What we feel like might be flaws, he sees as unique and beautiful. After all we are His bride!
He sees the beauty. He loves us.
So like a bride, we should stand brave and beautiful and even in awe at this kind of beauty.
This kind of beauty cannot be found on TV or in magazines or even in the sweetest novel love story.
This kind of beauty can only be found in true love.... God's love
Love is beauty and Beauty is love.
"God is working right now to make all things beautiful at this very moment. Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end" Etc 3:11
