You are beautiful!

My first blog post! Hopefully not my last 😂

One day I was driving to town and I wanted to listen to worship music but I was already driving and couldn’t plug in my phone, so I just started singing, making up words as I went, and it was BAD! I’m not a very good singer at the best of times but this was a whole new level of bad 😂. I said to the Lord, “you would probably prefer if I would just talk with you “. I heard in my spirit, very clearly, “you are beautiful my love and there is no flaw in you”. I had just read that scripture that morning, Song of Songs 4:7. It immediately reminded me of this mug that had come out of the kiln a few days before! I had been wanting one of these mugs but they were very popular so I never felt I could keep one. Then one came out with a blemish, a slightly raised bump, when I saw it, I got so excited and said, “yay your mine”. This mug is a joy, I see no flaw in it! Actually I just noticed recently that there is a heart in the glaze, so it is even more special to me!

I’ve always wondered about that scripture, “you are beautiful my love and there is no flaw in you”. How can the Lord not see my flaws, I see them? Sometimes our flaws are the very thing that draws us close to the Lord! I wonder if at those times, when we draw near with our flaws and failures, if he reacts like I did when I saw this mug, “yay you’re mine”. What a wonderful thought, His love for us is so great that he doesn’t even see our flaws, He is just so happy that we are close to Him!

Never let your flaws and failures keep you from drawing close to the Lord, instead let those very things, be what brings you to Him! For He loves you with an everlasting love!
