Encouragement
In Your Father’s Eyes
Precious daughter of God you are a queen in your Father’s eyes. Your King has donned on you a crown that sparkles with jewels. He has robed you with a garment of righteousness. You are more precious than diamonds. For your value is not weighed by how much you can do, your capability, the clothes you wear or the efforts you take to look beautiful.
The reason you are beautiful is because you have a Maker who dazzles you with jewels from His spirit and honors you because you are His own.
Unfortunately, the world tells you differently. Nothing is ever good enough- your skill, your parenting, your body, your knowledge, or your possessions. If you are not buying certain things, or practicing some new age principle, you are far off and do not measure up. The world reminds you of your failures.
More than that, personal trials remind you of your weaknesses. It’s in that dark place where fear rears its ugly head. Fear cripples your soul with doubt, lack of self-esteem and confidence issues. The slightest glimmer of hope is overshadowed by weakness and you sink deep within.
You may not feel complete but you are complete in Christ. While emotions are a very strong part of your make up and can sway from one extreme to the next, you have to move past your emotions with faith. Faith says you are more than a conqueror. Faith says, you are chosen. Faith says you are God’s workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works.
God sees you complete, whole, and victorious because you are in Christ. If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. Behold, old things have passed and all things are new.
