Day 25 "And You Are Beautiful"
Generational Beauty
Good Morning Beauties!
Today, instead of picking up our mirrors, I want us to rest in the promises of God. I want us to know and understand that He is faithful and trustworthy. We can place our hope in Jesus. He will not let us down. And that, my friends, is beautiful.
About this time in the journey, many travelers grow weary. It’s no wonder. The enemy is fighting us all the way. He doesn’t want us free from the power of his lies. He wants to keep us bound. Remember what John 10:10 says, “the enemy came only to steal, kill, and destroy, but I came to give you life, life abundant.”
In light of this fight, let’s get recharged, strengthened, and encouraged. Let’s focus on God’s promises. They are “yes and amen” and never fail. Take some time to allow the truths about our restoration, renewal, and remaining in Christ refresh us for the rest of the journey.
“In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation.” ! Peter 4:10 NLT
This life is hard. The demands of raising a family and serving an employer and church is overwhelming at times. What part of your life needs restoration right now? Selah.
“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.”
2 Corinthians 4:16 NIV
Are you discouraged by the way your aging body sometimes lets you down? Despite longing for times when your body performed with more endurance and strength, you spirit is being renewed each day. Write a list of the things your physical body is lacking and ask for God to help you release any negative thoughts or feelings you’re having about your body. Now create another list of all the things that continue to grow and mature in your spiritual life. Thank God for each one in a personal prayer. Selah.
“ Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” John 15:4-5 NIV
It’s simple. When we abide in Jesus, we can do all things. When we don’t abide in Him, we can do nothing. Are there areas of your life you are waiting to see fruit? How are you abiding in Christ? Selah.
