Day 9 "You Are Lovely"
Stairway to Paradise - Thomas Kincaid
Good Morning Beauties!
“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” Philippians 4:8 NIV
So, in other words, “think of JESUS!” Is anyone or thing more lovely than our dear Savior? What competes for your thoughts? Cares of this world? Enticements of this world? Selah.
Beauties, what are we teaching our children, mentees, the next generation? Do they see your life consumed with Jesus or matters of this world? Do they see your faith or fear? Selah
I love that God gives us free will. He shows us what’s BEST and allows us to choose. Read the scripture above once more. How would your soul feel and what would your life look like to others if your truly kept your thoughts on these things - the attributes of Jesus? Selah.
I find that having an eternal perspective helps me stay my mind on Jesus and things of Heaven. It helps my focus to remain on loving Jesus and loving others. Our temporal problems seem to dissipate when we have an eternal perspective. Do you need to shift your focus? Selah.
One day we will be face to face with Jesus and live with Him forever. What a day that will be! Let’s take time to celebrate the gift Jesus died to give us - an eternal life with the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Better Is One Day - Matt Redman
Love and Blessings,

“How lovely is your dwelling place, Lord Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.”
