IT DIDN’T WORK
Read Psalm 90:17

A girl was getting ready for a date, and her little brother came into the room and asked, “Whatcha’ doin’?”

“Making myself beautiful,” she answered.

After watching her put on a layer of cream and wipe it off, he said, “Sis, it didn’t work, did it?”

But this works!

Say to the Lord, “Here’s my body, live in it. Here’s my face, glow from it. Here’s my heart, love with it.”

Then your body will reveal His beauty, your face will reflect His happiness, and your heart will radiate His love.

That winsomeness will bring you closer to the needs of others and farther along the road of happiness.

Prayer: Take our bodies, Father. Love with our hearts, think with our minds, speak with our tongues, help with our hands, and walk with our feet, doing Thy will daily in us: in the name of Christ. Amen.

When I see that, my mind says, "It works when I work it." Did I work for my God or did I discount myself. Did I work at my recovery, or did I sit back and wait for God to do it for me, with no participaction on my part? Gratitude is an action word.

Inner Beauty

The beauty of a person....
Goes deeper than the skin
It's purity of the heart
And kindness that’s within

The smile that is so winning
The eyes that are sincere....
That extra mile they'll go for you
Shows how much they really care

They never keep a record
Of deeds that they have done
They have a kind of beauty
That outshines the morning sun
