Thank you for making me just right!

That’s what God says when he looks upon you, dear one. “Ta-da! I did it! She’s perfect, she’s finished, and she’s all mine.” You are gorgeous to God simply because you’re covered in the blood of His son.

~~Liz Curtis Higgs

This morning’s prayer and meditation for Sally’s healing comes from Take Heart, Oh God: Riches from the Greatest Christian Women Writers of All Time.

Do you hurry past the full-length mirror in the hallway? You know if you stop, you’ll be disappointed. That reflection doesn’t resemble the you inside. What you see doesn’t seem to reflect what is. You move forward to look at the details, mainly wrinkles, and wonder if the product you saw on TV really would tighten up your eyes. You step back and admit that bikini days are over. The sequined dress in the back corner of your closet will probably never fit again. No one will be chasing you down for a photo for their magazine cover.

But you know what? God says you’re just right. Age has made you a richer person inside, a wiser woman, a more compassionate woman, a stronger woman. Jesus has made you beautiful.

The magazine cover photos are always touched up, but you? You’re gorgeous! So give that reflection a great big smile!  

Prayer for Meditation

Lord, help me see myself the way you do. Thank you for making me just right!  

Scripture for Meditation

But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.1 John 1:7
