God Silhouetted


Think back over yesterday.

Did you, for even one moment, think about how you are made in God's image?

Such a lofty thought.

Even if we imagined the brightness of that truth, we would meet it with our own negative view of ourselves.

But I'm so...

Lauren D'Alessandro, co-founder of The You Are Project, writes, The amazing beauty He created in me is simply my portion of God's image that I can share with the world.

A staggering truth.

Oh, but she's only twenty-something. She'll learn like the rest of us that we are ugly or a failure or not worthy. Or will she?

Is it possible to retain the thought--the magnificent truth--that we are a silhouette of God's beauty, fearfully and wonderfully made by Him, unique and positively lovely to God Himself?

Ah, what a weekend that would be...to feel that beautiful.

It is yours for the choosing, my beautiful friend. Choose well.
