To Look Good and Feel Good

Scriptures: Jeremiah 29:11-13, Proverbs 23:17, 24:16, 1Corinthians 13:4-8

I was watching on the NRB channel on TV, the Kim Jacobs show. Her guest was Todd
Albaum, owner of the Scarlett Plus Size Boutique, in Charlotte, NC. They were talking'
about fashion, and I started thinking about the inside as well as the outside. Alison quoted
accept our flaws, put on color, and go with it and celebrate your curves. I was thinking how
important it is to women to look good and feel good, but we don't. Especially some of us
plus size women, the media portrays the perfect woman as being thin in order for her to
look good. Well it can be the same with our Christian walk. We daily face challenges on
our journey. We feel insecure, intimidated, racked with fear. These things keep us from
going on in the Lord. So as Alison put it, we need to accept our flows, put on Jesus and go
on in Him. So, you say how do we do it? Well, first, we go to God and talk to Him in our
prayers. Tell Him how you feel, what is on your mind. He is waiting to hear from you.
None of us are perfect. Secondly, we are in a daily battle. We have an enemy, and we need
to recognize him and his tactics. He wants to see you down. Therefore, put on God's word,
His armor to help ward off the enemy's attacks against you. Remember, the devil is roaming
around seeking whom he may devour. Let it not be you!! Get in God's word. Thirdly,
go with Jesus. He is our advocator. He intercedes to our Father on our behalf. He loved us
so much, that He gave His very life for us. Who more should we want to have on our side.
So, in order to lood good and feel good go with God. He loves you.
