Sentimental Beauty...

Father, your creation declares your greatness and lovingkindness, encouraging statements of pure truth in our daily walk... I hope and pray that each and every one of us can pause long enough with each new day to acknowledge just what a beautiful blessing life truly is. Too many choose to spend today lamenting and complaining and judging others without having walked in their shoes, acting as if they know the right and wrong thing to do with no possible way of knowing what that person was going through in the moment they were being so unrighteously judged. But when we're able to rise above our judgmental selves and focus on the SENTIMENTAL BEAUTY that surrounds us, the type of beauty as encapsulated in your spiritual blessings that are literally a part of every aspect of our lives in Christ, THEN and only then do we begin to comprehend the magnitude of our blessed lives. For "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved." (Ephesians‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬-‭6‬) ‬What a beautiful blessing in Christ Jesus this life truly is and forever will be when we're thankful and grateful for others and all they are trying to do and have accomplished on our behalf… Thank you, Jesus, for showing us that you are the way, the truth, and the life; THE answer for those committed to seeking the truth in all things!
