Day 6 "You Are Lovely"
Lovely Strength
Good Morning Beauties!
Today we begin looking at the next attribute and truth regarding our loveliness. What do you think of this word? How does it make you feel? Does it resonate with you at all? Selah.
Growing up a tomboy, I certainly didn’t relate to this word at all. Loveliness was for girly girls, but not for me. I viewed this word as synonymous with weakness, which I hated. Call me anything, but don’t call me weak. I believed I had to be strong, my own protector, and I tried to rely on no one.
Through my relationship with Jesus, He’s taught me it’s okay to rely on Him for my strength. I don’t need strength to defend and protect myself; He wants me to trust Him with my entire life. That’s where the real strength is - surrendering my life in the hands of Jesus. What is He asking you to surrender today? Selah.
Even Jesus relied on His Father, as we learn in the Bible. “Jesus gave them this answer: ‘Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.’” John 5:19 (NIV) What do you think about this truth? Does that change your opinion of Jesus? Are you willing to follow His example? Selah.
If our all powerful Savior and King chose to serve His disciples with loveliness - we too can embrace our loveliness as we live our lives with passion and purpose.
Let’s give praise to Jesus, our lovely Savior who is worthy of all glory and honor.

“‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”
