I wonder if a butterfly is aware of it's beauty? What if a flower could know how much it is loved? The world around us captures and enthralls us, mystifies us even, in our human understanding some aspects of creation simply astonish. The grandeur, the glory, the great wonder of it all. When God created the world and all this loveliness which so astounds us, He created us too and gave us dominion.

I wonder what would happen if I were aware of my beauty? All these things I see on earth which are so utterly radiant are a mere shadow in comparison to me. I know this to be truth but the concept of it confuses me and makes no sense to me. How can I in all my brokenness, in the total mess of my life be anything more than rubbish? All I know is that I am worthy because He has made me worthy. I want to be able to live in the truth of that. I no longer want to feel ugly, ashamed, inadequate or useless.

Father I pray that you would help me to have your eyes, your vision, your view point. Lord I want to see myself decorated with lavish love, clothed in righteousness and changed from glory into glory.
