Monday Eye-Opener: Those Insecurities

“Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning, for I am trusting you. Show me where to walk, for I give myself to you.” Psalm 143:8 (NLT)

Mornings can be so hard, can’t they? Within seconds after opening our eyes, our vulnerabilities seep in. Sometimes they hit us broadside.

Before you start your week, remember who created you. Remember that His grace created you anew when you believed in Him, so that you could glorify Him and encourage others.

“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)

Remember that you are therefore beautiful. Yes, you. His grace fills His new creation with beauty that shines from within. Abeauty that can’t be surpassed and that will never fade.

“Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.” 1 Peter 3:3-4 (NIV)

Finally, remember to share the news of His goodness with others!

“I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart and tell about the wonders you have worked.” Psalm 9:1 (CEV)
