EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
(1 Samuel 16:7) “The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
We are all beautiful in our own right. The beauty of God’s love allows us to see through His eyes and feel in His presence that which is pure and innocent.
We can feel the grief of someone who is unhappy in life just by looking at their expression. Maybe we see anger, disappointment, or even self-hatred, that this world influences them to feel, but we understand where God looks and we pray for them.
Although we live in a world that caters to sin, we are not to follow suit but shine brightly for the Lord. May we allow Him to show us our true worth and see that what we feel inside matches what we express to others on the outside.
As God fills us with the spirit of joy and allows us to transform with a smile, it welcomes others to approach us. Something so simple as a smile can break the tension and be an invitation to come closer and be inquisitive on what drives you to be filled with so much joy.
The introduction to who fuels the fire within you allows you to overcome the struggles in life, and lift your spirit with hope and theirs also. It can bring you, as well as others, to a belief so strong that it will stimulate the senses allowing one to feel so good about who they are with God.
Build your relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, and He will give you the strong foundation you need to stand prepared and equipped and shine brightly for Him.
