I hope you were able to enjoy your weekend. Here we have some roses that I saved from an occasion, I don't remember what. My Birthday maybe, but I don't like to throw them out. It's not that I can't throw them away, its just that I still enjoy them even when they are dry. The essence of what they are still peaks through.

I can relate this to my self. My outward man is perishing, but my inner glow is from the Holy Spirit, and that is stronger now than when I was younger. It is not a perfect example, but I think you get my point. I actually am more comfortable now in who I am that I ever have been. The more we yield to God, the better we are, physically, emotionally and mentally. Life is brighter and the future more wonderful because of Jesus, not me. I just have to get out of His way!

Can you let Him love you today? Meditate on God's word, " To console those who mourn in Zion,  To give them beauty for ashes,The oil of joy for mourning,The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they{we} may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the Lord that He many be glorified."   {Isaiah 61:3}   Italics mine.

I pray a blessing over you today, that you may see the bright future that God has for you! AMEN.
