Beautiful in God's Eyes

He has made everything beautiful in its time (Ecclesiastes 3:11).

As I write this article, I am wearing a cast on my right foot. It is boring beige, not a pretty purple. And I don’t feel very attractive. Have you ever felt the same? A fun sketch you may enjoy doing at your next Lutheran Women in Mission meeting is A Time for Beauty. The sketch reminds us that even though we may feel unattractive on the outside, God sees us as His redeemed child that is holy in His eyes because of Jesus. We may have a few wrinkles, gray hair, and less energy than we once had and yet we are precious and beautiful in God’s eyes. What a gift God has given us — we are His. Remember every day that you have been made in the image of God and He has redeemed you from sin and death. When God finished His creation, He called it good and so you are!
