No need to strive for perfection, just BE


How about for today, you just BE my child. My Child, in whom I am well pleased...You are not the girl who stuggles with food or can't keep her house clean or the girl who attracted bad men or suffers from depression. That girl doesn't really exist, in fact, she is dead.

You are royalty, my beautiful daughter who has not a care in the world save to spend time with her adoring, doting Daddy, praying, singing and praising all the day long. That's right. I am your Daddy, The King, and I am strong and powerful. Any adversity in your world is but a speck of dust to me. I am completely willing and able to handle it all. The battle is mine. In fact, consider it handled, because in Truth it already is.

All you need to concern yourself with is me. Everything else is just distraction from me. Your unsaved husband, taken care of. Your rocky marriage, alive and satisfying. Your children~actually mine~under my care, protection and provision. Your health, perfect. Your mind, sound. Your heart, pure. Done. It's all done. Just spend time with me. BE with me. Trust me. Adore me as I adore you. Get to know me the way that I know you. And you'll see who you really are - beautiful, poised, joyful, positive, loving, generous, kind and so much more. You'll see yourself the way I see you. It is no wonder that I am so enthralled by your beauty.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 2Corinthians 5:17
