James 1:16-17

When Life Presents Itself As Ugly

I'm linking you to this beautiful reading this morning after thinking on today's verses...I believe God can send us no ugly, imperfect, sinful thing. Sin in our hearts, Satan, and our world create such things...
However, I believe that God equips us to search for his blessings in what might appear to be curses, or little annoyances, or ugliness. He has purified our hearts to see with his eyes a fallen, disgusting world in a new light.
I am absolutely positive God's good and perfect gifts are not only often small and seemingly imperceptible, but given daily, slipped into moments and unexpecteds, and that he fully intends to show his unfailing good nature through them. every. time.

I change and flicker like a little star in the sky. He never, never even turns a degree to cast a new shadow. He stays solid and still in his loving goodness...In our forgiven pasts, in our holy now, and in our promising futures.

Praise God for this!!!

I pray today for you, sweet women of the Lord, to keep your eyes wide open to the little (and magnificent!) ways he loves you. Look creatively, and live in grateful awe. :)

Love in Him,
Cait
