"and in Him you have been made complete." Col. 2: 10
I get so excited when God speaks directly to my heart. A few days ago I set out to pick myself a bouquet of flowers out of my zinnia bed. A precious friend had given me a very colorful teapot for my birthday and that teapot was the vase for my bouquet. I needed just the right color yellow, orange and pink blossoms for a perfect bouquet. As I was picking on one side of the bed I spotted a beautiful yellow blossom on the other side so I go over to pick that special one. As I got close to it I dicovered that a few of the petals were missing and I said to that blossom," Oh, you are not as pretty as I thought", and then just left that blossom and went on to another one. Along the way I cut off a few dead blossoms and threw them away!!! (you know where I am going with this, don't you?)
Yes, God spoke directly to my heart. "My Princess, you always look complete to Me and I will never throw you away. I see you complete in My Son. You are always beautiful in my sight."
My precious blog friends, He sees you the same way...go ahead and smile...it's OK!!!
"Father, I thank you for loving and cherishing me the way you do. Make your love real to each person reading this post today. In Jesus complete Name, I pray."Amen

I feel the exact same way when God speaks to me also....
A good number of years ago I came out of a very abusive relationship. Through that, I was left feeling nto so pretty - like that dead, cut off blossom.
God though, has a way of gently picking us up, dusting us off and elevating us to the position of beautiful, and loved, and highly esteemed.
I've learned that it's not about what's done to us - it's about who we are in Jesus.
Praying with you that our Father would make that love real to every person who reads this. Lovely post!
Thanks, Deb. You know, the longer I live the more I see that if my worth is not wrapped up in Jesus then I am in a mess. He truly does see us as beautiful!!! And I can see myself as beautiful in Him.
LOVE THIS :)!
