We serve an amazing God who makes beautiful things out of dust and out of us. It doesn't matter what state of mind you are in or what physical or emotional condition you are in right now because the word of our God is true! It doesn’t matter what lies the enemy has told you (John 10:10) through people, yourself, or circumstances. It’s time to see what the Lord has said about you, His bride: Song of Solomon 4:6-7 says, “The sweet, fragrant curves of your body, the soft, spiced contours of your flesh Invite me, and I come. I stay until dawn breathes its light and night slips away. You’re beautiful from head to toe, my dear love, beautiful beyond compare, absolutely flawless.” It’s says that you are beautiful and flawless in God’s eyes!
No, you might not think you see the evidence of His beauty or flawlessness in yourself, but it exists because He says that it does. He is busy taking care of all of the other stuff around you, but you need to focus in on God and what He is trying to do inside of you. Look to the word and renew your spirit and mind daily, find revelation in the word of God about your life. What does the Bible says about you, how to live, and this life is true. There is more to life than you can even imagine: Philippians 3:20-21 says, “But there’s far more to life for us. We’re citizens of high heaven! We’re waiting the arrival of the Savior, the Master, Jesus Christ, who will transform our earthy bodies into glorious bodies like his own. He’ll make us beautiful and whole with the same powerful skill by which he is putting everything as it should be, under and around him.” This tells me He is taking care of it all. That’s when He is making beautiful things, and this is a process of transformation. This is not a quick fix, but until it is complete, we know that God see the full picture. We have to trust God and not believe what others have said about us.
Let’s not forget that as we come to the Lord daily, we are changed into His image one day at a time (2 Corinthians 3:12-18). Likewise, His beauty and what He made us is more visible to ourselves and others each day we give ourselves over to Him and yield to His plan and way for our life. When we begin to know who we are in God, when we begin to see the beauty that He has created in us; when we begin to believe that He has said about us, we can know that He makes beautiful things!
