You Look Marvelous!

Don't try to make yourselves beautiful on the outside, with stylish hair or by wearing gold jewelry or fine clothes. Instead, make yourselves beautiful on the inside, in your hearts, with the enduring quality of a gentle, peaceful spirit. This type of beauty is very precious in God's eyes.

—1 Peter 3:3-4

If God were to create a magazine with all the beautiful people in it, who would we see there? More than likely we'd see the images of people like Mother Teresa and Martin Luther King, Jr. We'd see the caretakers, the peacemakers, the givers and the generous. We'd see the ones who knew what beauty really was as it emanated from within. We'd see those who have gone before us with peaceful hearts and kind souls.

You're precious to God. You're beautiful too. As you walk through today, imagine yourself on the front cover of his magazine. You're already in his book. May your heart leap with joy at the very thought.

In the Flow

Lord, sometimes I forget what beauty really is. I'm grateful that you see me and love me just as I am. Amen.
