Women of Faith Blog Hop

This is a different kind of post for me... Well, not in regards to sharing my faith, as you all know I do whenever I can!  It's a passion of mine!  But in regards to why I am posting.

I love Women Of Faith and am participaing in a blog hop where we talk about what topic we would speak about if we were to speak at a Women Of Faith conference... Now, I'm not a big public speaker... having spoke at some Stampin' Up! events, the biggest one being about 800 people, I don't know how well I would do, but I would give it my all and talking about Seeing Yourself the Way God Sees You.

I think it's so easy to put a smile on your face and pretend to the world that life is wonderful, and on the inside be totally discouraged and critical of who we are.  We know all the flaws, all the failures, all the things we wish we weren't or wish we could be.  The devil is wonderful at making us see those things above all else.  But what we fail to do, and what we should do all the time, is see us as God sees us.  Perfecly created to do His will.  Isn't that amazing.... We are created PERFECT... JUST THE WAY HE WANTS US.... It's like that stamped card that we make, and we take the time to select the perfect color combination, the perfect accessories (ribbon is a must, right?) and then layer it with complete care to make sure that it's perfectly centered.... When it's done, we LOVE it.  We cherish it, and we certainly don't want to GIVE IT AWAY!  In fact, we want to show it off to everyone!!!!  Well, consider our creator, and how much MORE went into creating YOU!  And to see yourself as He sees YOU.... perfectly shaped, perfectly gifted, perfectly colored, perfectly talented, perfectly loved, perfectly abled to do exactly what He created you to do!  When we focus on the fact that we were created by Him, for Him, and not on what we wish, hoped or wanted to be, our lives wll be free... free of guilt, disappointment, self doubt, fear, shame, and discontentment.  And to know that He loved us enough to send His ONLY SON into this world to make us perfect forever through His blood, there is NO OTHER WAY we should see ourselves.... only Perfect in the Blood of the Lamb!!! Oh what a wonderful way to see ourselves.... Perfect in Jesus!!!! Mmmmmm what a perfect day!
