We are in the making

Beauty in the making.

What does that mean exactly? Many of you, when you hear the word beauty, think outward beauty.
Am I right? Well, I tend to do the same. We think clothes, make-up, hair, accesories etc. All of the things that make our outward beauty complete, and of course, we all want to look beautiful.
However, that's not the kind of beauty I'm talking about. No, I'm talking about inward beauty.
Now you probably have all heard this before. Honestly though, does it hurt to hear it again?

It says in Ecclesiastes 3:11 that "He has made everything beautiful in its time."
Wait a minute. Doesn't God already see me as beautiful? Well, that's true. (Psalm 45:11)
But again, I'm not talking about outward beauty. I'm talking about us on the inside,
the spiritual, emotional, the things that need to change, or grow.

"..being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to
completion until the day of Christ Jesus." (Philippians 1:6)

God is making us beautiful on the inside. I happen to think that is awesome! God is taking the
good, the bad, and the ugly and using it for our it good. He is changing maturing us and growing us, making us into something truly beautiful.

And these words are not just to girls, either! Each one of us are a beauty in the making.

That's what I want to encourage you with and what I want you to remember. So when you
feel like you're worthless, or when God is doing anything in you...

He is.

I hope you find encouragment in this and my posts to follow. Welcome to my blog. :)
