I was driving home tonight and the song Beautiful by Mercy Me came on. The premise of the song is that sometimes we all feel like we're unworthy when in Jesus we are actually worthy. BUT God told me something else in that song. I was struggling with some bitter thoughts towards a person when the song came on. Part of the chorus says, "You're beautiful, you're beautiful. You are made for so much more than all of this." I heard God saying to me, you are beautiful and I made you for something more than all of this bitterness. Bitterness is not beautiful, but I made you beautiful so let it go!!!!
That got me to thinking. "This" is different to all of us at all different times in our lives. Tonight my "this" was bitterness. Yesterday it was shame. Tomorrow it may be attitude or impatience with the slow cashier. Or it my be unforgiveness, physical pain, emotional pain, scarring from a hurt so deep its been hidden. Whatever "this" is for me, and for you, in this moment, we were made for so much more than "this". I am beautiful, I was made for so much more than "this", so I will let it go, or I'll try to let it go, or show me how to, or give me endurance to push through today's "this". But whatever my "this" is I am going to remember that I was made for so much more. Why am I so much more than "this"? Because I am His.
Psalm 139:14
"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well"
Colossians 3:12
12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
I am chosen by Him!! I am His!!!!
Beautiful by Mercy Me
