I am so good looking.
…except here’s the deal: I’m really not. My ankles are swollen, I showered for the first time in a long time this morning, I am so sweaty, bags under my eyes…and so the list continues. From the world’s perspective, I’ve got a bit of work to do.
At leader training we took time to speak this simple truth into each other:
I am beautiful
Because He is beautiful
I look like Him
And He looks like me.
It took multiple times hearing this in order to receive it, but now I’m claiming it. We made it Chiang Mai this morning and there is still a lot of unknowns, but the truth is none of the details matter much, because the Lord has called me here to be beauty and light in the midst of the a dark and broken culture.
Whatever it looks like, here I am.
John 1:5~ The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
