Beautifully Robed in Righteousness

Good Afternoon Beauties!

Before we get started with our next truth and attribute, I want to encourage you to daily meet with Jesus, even when it’s difficult. This morning I’ve been feeling unwell and stayed in bed in hopes of feeling better which meant missing a meeting and delaying this blog. Instead of feeling guilty, I slept another few hours, got up, and spent precious time with the Lord. It’s okay to take care of yourself and those around you and still make time for Jesus. it may just need to look a little different,

Okay, now let’s look at the next truth on our journey - you are RIGHTEOUS. Paul does an amazing job describing righteousness in the book of Romans. “Now do you see it? No one can ever be made right in God’s sight by doing what the law commands. For the more we know of God’s laws, the clearer it becomes that we aren’t obeying them; his laws serve only to make us see that we are sinners. But now God has shown us a different way to heaven—not by “being good enough” and trying to keep his laws, but by a new way (though not new, really, for the Scriptures told about it long ago). Now God says he will accept and acquit us—declare us “not guilty”—if we trust Jesus Christ to take away our sins. And we all can be saved in this same way, by coming to Christ, no matter who we are or what we have been like.” Romans 3:20-22 (TLB)

Beauties, this is great news!!! So many women I know still stress and strive to be “good enough” in their walk with the Lord. Do you struggle with it too? Re-read the Romans scripture and let God’s word reassure you of your righteousness before the Holy One. Find comfort and peace and then praise Jesus with a grateful heart for making it possible. Selah.

“Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I have put aside all else, counting it worth less than nothing, in order that I can have Christ, and become one with him, no longer counting on being saved by being good enough or by obeying God’s laws, but by trusting Christ to save me; for God’s way of making us right with himself depends on faith—counting on Christ alone.”

— Philippians 3:8-9 The Living Bible

Delightfully Beautiful

Good Morning Beauties!

“How beautiful you are and how pleasing, my love, with your delights!” Song of Solomon 7:6 (NIV)
It’s true! The Lord is pleased when He looks upon you. He sees your true self - His very own creation and sees the reflection of His delights. (delight connotes feelings of lightness, joy, and amusement.)

You’re on Day 20 - half way through your journey. I pray you are seeing yourself as a beautiful woman, inside and out. How would you describe your beauty today? How has it changed since Day 1? Selah.

I love this video showing the reactions of students being called beautiful. Please watch it and see if you relate to anyone? Describe that person in your journal and why their response resonates with you. Selah.

“Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life].”

— 2 Corinthians 5:17 (AMP)

Royal Masterpiece

Good Morning Beauties!

“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” Ephesians 2:10 (NLT)

Have you accepted your Royal status yet? Do you believe you have been created by God for a specific reason and that He considers you His masterpiece? Is it difficult for you to realize the truth of your royalty? Ask Jesus to speak to you and help you understand this truth. Selah.

Let these truths sink down deep into your soul today…you are a vital part of God’s royal family, you are chosen, you belong, you are victorious, you glow with the light of heaven, your life has purpose, you are loved, and you are beautiful.

How will you use your royal status to fulfill God’s purpose for your life? What does it look like? What do you want it to look like? Are there any parts of your “old self” getting in the way of you confidently moving forward to serve God as you serve others? Selah.

As you listen to this song, allow the Holy Spirit to reveal more about your royal status, your purpose, and the power He desires to give you.

Heaven’s Glow

Happy Lord’s Day Beauties!

“For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.” Philippians 2:13 (NLT)

Have you ever witnessed someone moving in the gifts and talents God has given them? There’s an unmistakeable glow about them, right? You know this activity is what they were born to do - they’re fulfilling their God-given purpose.

My niece was a beautiful figure skater years ago. I remember a specific moment when I saw her round a corner on one foot, arms stretched out, confident smile beaming from her face, and I was completely mesmerized by it all. I’ll never forget what God whispered to my spirit, “what you’re seeing is Me.” He was right! What I witnessed was His beauty, His creativity, His strength. His Heavenly glow was being poured out through my niece.

Are you asking, “what does this have to do with serving God?” Great question. My niece won most of her competitions, and though just a young teenager, she would always give credit to God when interviewed by reporters. Her recognition of God working through her was publicized all around the world. Amazing!

Who do you know who glows with the inner workings of the Lord? Can you remember a specific time when you saw Jesus shining through them? Write down in your journal things that caught your attention and convinced you they were living for God’s glory. Selah.

What about you? Are you currently living your God-given purpose with the glow of Heaven pouring out for all to see? If not, let’s try to determine the reason. Do you know Jesus? Would you say you have an intimate relationship with Him? Are you grateful He gave up everything, even His life, for you which has caused you to fully surrender your life to Him? Are you willing to ask God to show you His desire for your life? When He shows you, are you ready to obey His will, no matter what it is and no matter the cost? Selah.

On this beautiful Lord’s Day, spend time with Jesus worshipping His greatness, and listening to Him as He speaks about your desires He’s placed in your heart. What does He say about connecting your passion with your purpose? Selah.

Beautiful Victory of Our King

Good Morning Beauties!

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” John 10:10 (NIV)

Our beautiful King Jesus has already won the victory! He humbly and obediently wore the crown of thorns, carried and was nailed to the cross, suffered, and died. It would appear that the first part of John 10:10 came true. It appeared the enemy had won. BUT - Jesus rose from the grave, ascended into Heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He has won the ultimate victory!

Jesus obeyed His Father for you. He suffered and died for you. He fulfilled the second part of John 10:10 by giving you a victorious life. He fought the war, earned the crown, and gave it to you. Reflect on the magnitude of this truth. Selah.

The question is, are you wearing your crown? Are you living your life from victory, not for victory? What damage has the enemy done that needs God’s healing? A restored, transformed life gives us the powerful testimony of hope others are desperate for. What’s preventing you from walking in full victory today? Selah.

Let’s spend time worshipping Jesus with this beautiful song. Open your heart and mind and allow the Holy Spirit to reveal truth and minister to any hurt places.

God’s Beautiful Family

Good Morning Beauties!

“My prayer is not for the world, but for those you have given me, because they belong to you.” John 17:9 (NLT)

For the next few days we’ll look at the truth of our next attribute, ROYALTY. I love this scripture in John. Jesus was praying to The Father, and was making clear we are part of His family - we belong to God. Reflect on your earthly family and describe it in your journal. What were the blessings and what were the challenges? Did you feel apart of things, or were you lonely? Describe memories of situations, and also your feelings the memory provokes. Selah.

Now describe your Royal family. What are the blessings that come from belonging to God’s family? Are there any challenges you still face? How does it compare to your earthly family? Are the blessings magnified? Are any hurt feelings comforted? Selah.

Thank you Lord for allowing us to be part of your glorious Royal family, where we belong. Let’s praise our beautiful Jesus and make this song our prayer today.

Creation’s Winter Beauty

Good Morning Beauties!

“For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.” Isaiah 43:19 (NLT)

The Holy Spirit is taking you on a glorious journey of transformation, and today is the first time to reflect on the steps you’ve taken so far. Are you sensing the “new thing” God is doing in your life? Are you seeing your true beauty? How has your opinion changed? Selah.

Grab your journal and take a look at what you wrote for your expectations of this journey experience. What you were willing to do and what did you need God to do How’s it going? Are your expectations being met? Are there changes you need to make or prayers needing to be prayed? Selah.

Also, take a look at the obstacles you had identified in the beginning. How have they crept into your journey and how have your action plans stopped them dead in their tracks? If not, do you need to modify your action plans? What new distractions have caught you off guard? What are your plans to destroy them? Selah.

Lastly, are you still motivated to see the change you had hoped for on Day 1? Do you still long for a more intimate relationship with Jesus? Is He your number one priority right now as you continue your journey? Selah.

Beauty, you’re doing amazing on your journey. Your commitment to remaining on your path speaks volumes of your bravery, boldness, and dedication to God. Keep going, keep fighting for the most important relationship you’ll ever have. It’s worth every sacrifice!

Once again, let’s worship our beautiful Jesus and take time to dwell in His presence.

Overflowing Joy

Good Morning Beauties!

“For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:2 (NIV)
Is it difficult to read this scripture and believe Jesus had joy as He went to the cross? It’s hard to imagine, right? But it is true! He looked ahead and thought of spending eternity with you, and that’s where He kept His heart focused.

This same joy Jesus had as He served His Father, He’s given to you as you serve others. What has Jesus asked you to do? What is the purpose only you can fulfill? Where is He asking you to focus as you live in sacrifice and service to others? Thinking back to the passion He placed in your heart, does it still bring you joy and excitement? Is all the sacrifice and hard work worth seeing the vision come to fruition? Selah.

The joy of the Lord is contagious! As you live your life surrendered to God, as your joy is being made complete, others will be drawn to you. The supernatural joy you possess will be a magnet for others who will want to know how they too can be filled with this same joy. To a lost and hurting world that’s looking for hope, you are the bridge to Jesus, the true hope of the world. Will you accept this mission? Selah.

Let’s take a moment to celebrate Jesus and the overwhelming joy it is to know Him. Yes, He’s given us purpose - there is a “doing” we’re called to, but for the next few minutes, just “be” with God and joyfully praise the One who’s given you eternal life, freedom, grace, and peace.

“I have told you these things so that My joy and delight may be in you, and that your joy may be made full and complete and overflowing.”

Peace in His Presence

Good Morning Beauties!

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” John 14:27 (NIV)

At times we need an extra boost of inner security. The best way I know to find what my mind and heart are desperately longing for is in God’s presence. Only by His grace has He granted us such a privilege. In His presence we find a deep, meaningful, and unshakable peace that brings calm to anxious thoughts and feelings. We can find God’s promise in Philippians 4:6-7, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (NIV)

There is undeniable darkness in the world today. Most people I know are experiencing some from of anxiety, depression, and unrest in their soul. Do you find yourself in this place? What specifically are you struggling with right now? Will you bring it to Jesus and lay it at His feet? Will you trade your troubles for His peace? Selah.

I often find patterns in things. With the topic of grace and peace, I see a circle. It begins with hearing God’s Word which builds our faith, which builds our trust in a loving God, which allows us to believe fully in who He is, which leads to us receiving and understanding His grace, which brings us abundant peace. Then, with a sense of His peace that surpasses all understanding, we are drawn to the Word out of our desire to know God more. Can you see this circle? Are you living it now? Where does He have you on the circle and what do you need from Him to move to the next step? Selah.

Here’s a beautiful song which I know will be a blessing. Listen to it as a personal gift from Jesus.

Jesus - Beautiful Bondage Breaker

Good Morning Beauties!

“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” John 8:36 (NIV)

Your freedom in Christ is at the foundation of your joy. In Romans 8 we learn, as Christians, we are now free from the law of death and now live in the Spirit of freedom. Are you living in the freedom Jesus died to give you? Ask Him to reveal any part of your life that is still bound by the lies of the enemy that lead to your sin. Selah.

As I’ve mentioned before, I am not a Bible teacher, and this blog is not a Bible study; however, here is a wonderful devotion that speaks beautifully about true freedom. Enjoy!

Jesus set you free…so why don’t you feel free? - Jeff Poor

WOW! That was a Good Word!! I hope you will take the action steps Jeff described. Here’s a “get up and dance and give praise to The Lord” kind of song. Let’s thank Jesus for the FREEDOM and JOY He’s given us.

Joyful Joyful We Adore Thee

Happy Lord’s Day Beauties!

Ahhh, another beautiful morning to watch the sunrise in the winter sky and to get ready to worship with friends and church family. It’s the highlight of my week and brings so much joy to my heart. Let me rephrase that, it reveals the joy in my heart.

“You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.” Psalm 16:11 (NIV)

Today we begin looking at the next attribute and truth in our journey, You Are Joyful. What first comes to mind when you think of joy? What feelings are rising to the surface? Are they mostly positive or negative? Do you have abundant joy, or do you believe God has more for you? Selah.

Let’s run into His presence with a joyful heart in praise to our joy-giver. Whether you attend a church service today or are home alone…bring the King praise with your whole heart and soul.

Beauty of Surrender

Good Morning Beauties!

“Mary took a jar of special perfume that cost much money and poured it on the feet of Jesus. She dried His feet with her hair. The house was filled with the smell of the special perfume.” John 12:3 (NLV)

Do you see the absolute beauty of Mary’s service to her King? As she poured out the perfume, she poured out her heart to her Lord, Jesus. As she emptied the jar, it was as though she was saying, “I give you all of me, everything I am is for you.” What do you see? Selah.

Close your eyes, listen to this song…what do you see? Selah.

Can you imagine the pleasure of Jesus as you empty yourself of any selfish ambition and make yourself available to His will? The passion to serve others and the vision (promises) He gave you will strengthen you to fulfill the purposes He has for your life. It’s a sacred process and one that exposes your true beauty.

Take time today to write the promises God’s given you and determine if you’re walking out your purpose, or if you’re just getting started. What do you need from the Holy Spirit to live out this passion God’s given you? What do you need to completely turn over your heart and life to Jesus? Selah.

Let’s make this song our prayer today.

Fill My Cup

Good Morning Beauties!

“But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: ‘God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.’” James 4:6 (NIV)
God bestows His strength and favor through His grace as we humble ourselves to His mighty plan of serving others. He’s provided this beautiful paradox of strength and gentleness. He lived it to fulfill His purpose, and He’s asking us to do the same in our service to others.

Looking back at the past few days, how is Jesus revealing your loveliness through strength? Through humility? Through service to others? Selah.

Has He shown you any parts that need to be strengthened by Him? Has He revealed any pride that is preventing you from relying on the Holy Spirit as you serve? What has been the greatest revelation? Selah.

Let’s worship our Servant King from the humble position of bowing our knee and lifting our hands. Let’s give Him all of us and be filled once again with His Holy Spirit. Open your heart again to all He has for you.

“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.”

— Philippians 2:3-4 New International Version

The Humble Servant

Good Morning Beauties!

“You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh rather, serve one another humbly in love.” Galatians 5:13 (NIV)

How do you describe humility? What does being humble look like? Can you think of a great example from your life or perhaps the life of someone close to you? Selah.

I once heard it explained this way…it’s not thinking less of yourself, it’s not thinking of yourself at all. Can you imagine going a day without thinking of yourself? Your needs, your desires, your ambition? How do we turn off the “me” switch? Selah.

“ For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Mark 10:45 (NIV)

Jesus shows us clearly how to live a life of humility. He put others (you and me) above His own desires and was willing to give His very life for us. What does this kind of humility look like for you? Is God asking you to walk in even greater humility as you fulfill your purpose and life of service? Selah.

Are we willing to go back to the basics and follow the two commandments of Jesus? Loving Him and loving others? Are we willing to bow our knees and pray for the needs of others and our world before thinking of ourselves? I am. Will you join me? Selah.

Reflection of His Majesty

Good Morning Beauties!

The beauty of the Lord is overwhelming! His majesty on full display engages my soul like nothing else.

While living in California, the ocean spoke of His mighty strength. The power of the waves crashing on the cliffs was undeniable. In Texas, He painted the sky in marvelous blue, gold, purple, and pink. The vast expanse confirmed in my spirit how grand He is. Now in Minnesota, God speaks to me through the beauty of His trees. Reaching up to Heaven in praise to the Glory of their King, I’m reminded that all of creation worships the Lord.

Where is it that you see the majesty of God on display? How would you describe the experience? Selah.

Let’s look at two scripture verses that speak of our positioning with and in Christ:
“ I have been crucified with Christ: and I myself no longer live, but Christ lives in me. And the real life I now have within this body is a result of my trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20 (TLB)
“For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.” Colossians 3:3 (NIV)

The truth is, as Christians, Christ lives in us, and we live our new lives in Christ. Because of this truth, we reflect His majesty. It’s not our own, but we simply reflect it. So go ahead, and allow Him to wrap you in His beautiful garments and walk in full display of His majesty. Selah.

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.”

O, Beautiful Lord

Good Morning Beauties!

“I thank you, High God—you’re breathtaking! Body and soul, I am marvelously made! I worship in adoration—what a creation!” Psalm 139:14 (MSG)

Beauty - God’s beauty, your beauty. Are you seeing the truth about beauty more clearly? Are you in agreement with this Bible verse and believe you are marvelously made? Selah.

What has God revealed in these past few days as you’ve pondered the difference between your Earthly father and Abba Father, God’s incredible love for you, and God’s willingness to meet you in His very presence? Any surprises? What beliefs has He confirmed for you? Selah.

Let’s take another opportunity to praise Jesus and worship His true beauty.

Behold His Presence

Happy Lord’s Day Beauties!

“One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.” Psalm 27:4 (NIV)

There’s nothing more beautiful than the presence of the Lord! In this holy and sacred place He invites you to join Him. You are welcomed, you are wanted, you are loved. Your beauty captivates Him and He longs to spend time with you. Do you know this sacred place? Is there a well-beaten path to His front door? How would you describe your intimate relationship with Jesus? Selah.

Is the concept of being in God’s presence a new one for you? Are you struggling to hear from Him on these first few days of your journey? It can be frustrating!

Beauty, keep going. Keep seeking HIm with your whole heart. He promises to meet you.

“‘When you come looking for me, you’ll find me. Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else, I’ll make sure you won’t be disappointed.’ God’s Decree.” Jeremiah 29:13 (MSG)

Chosen and Loved Above All

Good Morning Beauties!

“Out of all the peoples on the face of the earth, the Lord has chosen you to be his treasured possession.” Deuteronomy 14:2 (NIV)

You are loved! Read that scripture again…God chose you out of all people. What do you think about this truth? What feelings do you have as you contemplate this Word of God? Selah.

“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8 (NIV)

God clearly loves us above all our sin, so much so, He sent Jesus to die for us so we could be reconciled with the Father in Heaven for eternity. Nothing you can do will ever change the love Jesus has for you. He loves you above it all!

Will you accept His unconditional love today? Will you believe and receive Jesus’ perfect love? That’s the only way you will be able to walk in your purpose and bring His love to others. Selah.

Choose To Believe

Good Morning Beauties!

The second truth of our journey can be a sensitive one. It’s one that dives deep. When reading “daughter of the King,” what’s the first thing that comes to mind? It’s easy to immediately think of our Earthy fathers and our relationship with them. The next thought is our relationship to our Heavenly Father. Our minds make the comparison in a split second without our permission, it happens that fast. Let’s slow those thoughts down and allow the Spirit to reveal truth to you about both relationships.

How would you describe your relationship with your Earthy father? Would you say “loving, kind, encouraging, strong, confident”? Does “hurtful, absent, neglectful, abusive, discouraging” sound more accurate? Is your relationship somewhere in between? Write down a description of your dad and relationship with him. Selah.

Psychology tells us that our identity and self esteem is developed mostly by the relationship with our dads while we’re young girls. As you can see, this relationship is foundational in how we initially see and value ourselves. What were the messages received from your father? Selah.

What does God say about it? “Listen, daughter, and pay careful attention: Forget your people and your father’s house.” Psalm 45:10 (NIV) No matter what type of earthly father and life you had with him, God says to forget it. He’s not saying to abandon your father, but to forget whatever may be holding you back from devoting your entire heart and soul to Him - your Abba Father. Whether you idolize your father and need to take him off your throne, or are still living with bitterness to a harmful one, God wants priority in your life.

Our God is gracious and kind and will not force you. You must choose to put on your crown and take your rightful place as His daughter. What will you choose? Selah.
