Today is Thursday, July 13th, 2023; Karen's Korner #4909
Yesterday at our weekly church prayer time, Sandy wanted us to hear the day's (July 12) entry in "365 Days of Prayer for Women" by Stephanie Sample.
It's a good one:
BELOVED CHILD
"You are altogether beautiful, my love;
there is no flaw in you."
~ Song of Solomon 4:7 NIV
"God, you make such beautiful things! I start to list them off: babies, flowers, sunsets, birds, snow----and I realize there is no end. More beautiful than anything by far are those I love. A mother's arms, a father's hand, a child's face all leave me breathless and filled with gratitude. Thank you, Lord, for such a lovely world. I know that to those who love me, I add to its beauty. This humbles me. In the mirror I see things I'd like to change: flaws, imperfections, and signs of age. Behind me, hands resting proudly on my shoulders, your eyes see your beautiful, beloved child. To you, I am more beautiful than the sunset. I am as lovely as a rose."
"Do you know that God see you as beautiful?'
