I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Psalm 139:14

Age allows us to discover the natural progression of our lives. We see the effects of physical change. Sometimes, it’s hard to notice. But, God wants us to remember what is created on the inside is the most valuable to Him. He helps us see ourselves as He sees us; beautiful and wonderfully made! 

There’s no doubt...Time WILL transform us. Our physical appearance will change. But, God will help us appreciate what we see, as He strengthens the heart of our faith. He will help us embrace the love of content and allow us to recognize what He sees in us. He will remind us to love what has been created. 

Beauty is found in those who are joyful! The light of Jesus will shine much brighter when it comes from the heart. Layers of love will diminish unwanted wrinkles and remind us what JOY will erase. 

God has a plan for our days. He will open our eyes to clearly see what needs to be noticed. He will provide the way for us to be perfectly renewed by Him. He will help us see beauty in the glow of His greatness and allow us to share His JOY in our lives. 

God has opened our eyes to another day to see ourselves as He sees us! Thank you, Lord! Help us gratefully appreciate this precious gift of time… 


Dear God, Thank you for moments to see what You see. Help us find JOY in what You have created. We will love You with all of our hearts and gratefully trust in the timing of Your will. When our bodies have aged with imperfections, we will embrace the gift of our years. We will open our eyes much wider and recognize why we must be very, very grateful. Amen
