I just finished reading a fabulous book by Angela Thomas called "Do You Think I'm Beautiful?" I was kind of embarrassed to admit I was reading it (my luggage got lost recently by the airline and the only "identifying" object I could think of was the book) but I think it is a question every woman really asks. One of my favorite parts of the book is her comparison to our pursuit of God like hungry people after food. She compares us to starving people, waiting in line for a truck with food. These people don't wait patiently in line or wait their turn. They all-out go after the truck, in desperate pursuit of food. In the same way, we should be starving for Christ. My other favorite part is her affirmation of God's promise to us:
"You are beautiful.
You are desired.
You are known.
You are held.
You are protected.
You are rescued.
You are forgiven.
You are pursued.
You are seen.
You are precious.
You are My princess.
You are My beautiful bride." (pg. 200)
Allow God to speak those words over you today...
I figured it out! Thanks for sharing your secret. :)
