This past weekend I was looking for something to wear now that the weather is warm and I was unable to find anything that made me feel pretty. After last year’s knee surgery and the subsequent weight gain I am not exactly fitting into my usual summer wardrobe. Bulging at the seams is a more accurate description. And that brings me to the place of melancholy that I found myself. Feeling quite ugly and fat, wearing clothes that were too small I cried out to God to help me to see myself as He does. I had put a status on my FaceBook and my dear friends helped pull me out of my gloominess and back into the sunshine! God certainly uses people to speak to the hearts of His children. Over a dozen precious souls ministered to me and gave me new remembrances of blessings to count.
My Monday morning devotional was Matthew 6:33. “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
After devotions I started decluttering the last corner of the house that hasn’t been done. I was almost done when I found a bag that didn’t look familiar. I opened the bag up to find a whole bunch of Sonshine! Actually, it inside the bag I found 10 beautiful blouses that were my size! I didn’t recognize them, I have no idea where it came from but I do know this, God knew that I needed those blouses on Monday.
How amazing that our Father arranged my devotion to be Matthew 6:33 on Monday morning. He added these things to me. I’ve been seeking Him and He made sure I had the desires of my heart, something to help me feel pretty. Something to help me see myself as He sees me. I love our Father so much! Thank you Jesus…V
So very glad that he knows and loves you. Also glad he brings blessings to those who pursue his face!
