PSALM 139:14

BIBLE READING 1 PETER 3:3-4

3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;

4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

MASSAGE:

God sees you asa masterpiece. Therefore,the next time you look in the mirror, know thatGod doesn't see any flaw in you. Do not letthe opinion of other people define what youthink about yourself. YoU are God's perfectcreation, and yoU are beautiful.

Your beauty should not only be definedby outward adornments such as makingelaborate hairstyles or wearing differentjewelry; rather, it should come from your innerself - the unfading beauty of a gentle andquiet spirit, which is of great worth in God'ssight. Today's Bible reading warns Christianwomen not to follow the customs of some ofthe other women who spend hours makingtheir hair, wearing makeup, and finding theperfect outfit. God would rather see womenwork on becoming beautiful from the insideout. In other words, have a good characterbecause that is the kind of beauty that lastsforever.

Beloved, if you get insulted because of howyou look, or if yoU ever think that yoU arenot beautiful enoUgh, instead of trying toplease others by wearing excessive makeup,remember God's word in today's memoryverse and confess it.

CONFESSION

I am God's masterpiece. I am beautifulinside and outside.
