Father,
Today I say boldly that I am your workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works. You created me and made me to be the young lady that I am today. Your love and joy makes me beautiful on the inside, for I know according to Romans 5:5, the love of God has been shed generously abroad in my heart. As I allow that love to come out of me, so does Your goodness and beauty in my world.
Thank You for the appearance I have been given - my eyes, my ears, my nose, my face, my hair, and my entire body. You said in the scriptures my body is the temple and dwelling place of Holy Spirit. Therefore, just as the priests of the Old Testament took care of the Temple of God, I'm asking you to help me take very good care of this temple.
Please help me to accept, love, and honor myself today. I ask for strength when looking in the mirror, let me see how beautiful I am, inside and out. Let my light from within shine brightly for the world to see.
Father, today I remind myself of the words of the Apostle Paul to all Christians in 1 Thessalonians 5:23: "May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ". I know that You are coming soon and it is my desire to please You when You return for me. Thank You for keeping me pure and without blame in the way I feed my heart and spirit, without blame in the things I allow to affect my mind and emotions, and without blame in the way I live for You in this body.
Lord, no one can deny your absolute wonder and beauty. Today I ask - be beautiful through me, in Jesus' name. Amen.
Your Child, Kelly
Reflections:
