Psalm 118:24 New International Version (NIV)
The Lord has done it this very day;
let us rejoice today and be glad.
TAKE A PICTURE ~
Inside your mind, take a picture of now. Moments you can never get back and to live in the now. Telling others you love them, sharing time and giving thanks to God. A new day brings new thoughts and new actions. It brings us to message people or sharing time with them. Life is so busy with work, school, church, sports and at the end of the day, there is still God. He waits for us to praise him and to release the things we can not change. Take a picture of how faithful he is and how he brought many people generations ago to freedom. He is the same God yesterday, today and forever.
Hebrews 13:8 New International Version (NIV)
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
TAKE A PICTURE ~
The positive things of life stand out. I am positive God created me, forgave me and will not remind me of my sins. Mistakes are gone and living with a free mind is our choice. Roman 12 speaks about renewing a mind.
TAKE A PICTURE ~
Someone wants you to say cheese and then smile. There are the pictures we plan for in life and those we don't plan for. I am sadness with people don't want their pictures taken at a event. I guess because of my childhood, I want pictures of others. I want to look back and see how special one day was in my life. Others explain they don't like the way they look or even like themselves. How sad is that and it's hard for me to understand. God created them just as they are and he thinks we are a masterpiece.
Ephesians 2:10 New Living Translation (NLT)
For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
I hope you see yourself the way God does and that's beautiful. My thoughts and prayers are with the readers of my blog, your family and friends. Take pictures, share life and don't forget how important you are today. God connected our lives for purpose and the way you see yourself is valuable. You are unique and designed by the one and only God who created this world. Look into the mirror and say thank you to God. Don't be shamed of what you look like, it's the inside that shines brighter anyway. Sharing God's love and his promises is part of our mission.
