Pray for Families (Soul-Searching)

Greetings Prayer Warriors,

We are such an image-focused society.  We want people to look at us and say, “Wow! Look at her/him!”    Maybe you don’t see yourself in this (as I do myself), but consider how much time you spend on the following. 
  • Hair (beards included): cut, styled, dyed, curled, straightened, extended, weaved, braided, bleached, tweezed, or waxed
  • Skin: exfoliated, cleansed, moisturized, steamed, lasered, or peeled
  • Body: weight-lifting, cardio, running, hiking, stretching, yoga, soaking, or steaming; sitting, TV watching, recreational eating, or loafing 
  • Apparel: brand, label, style, fit, shop, shop, shop! 
  • Toys and Recreation:  $$$
Add up the time and money spent weekly doing the above. Are you looking good yet?  In whose eyes?  Have you given any thought/time to improving the condition of your soul, the only thing the Lord looks at and cares about? Are you in balance? Are you using your money to build up His Kingdom or your kingdom?

This is the will of God, your holiness. 1 Thessalonians 4:3

We were each created with a most beautiful soul, unique and ravishing in the eyes of the Lord.  What are you doing to see that it stays in pristine condition?  What are you nourishing it with?

For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Matthew 16:26

If you were turned “inside out”, where the only thing one could see was your soul, would you be pleased with your appearance?

You shall be called by a new name bestowed by the mouth of the LORD.  Isaiah 62:2  Uh-oh!! ;)

We are blessed to have a God that loves us unconditionally.  Let us praise Him.  Let us thank Him.  Let us spend time with Him and love Him in return.  Let us ask Him to heal us of every infirmity of heart, mind, body, and soul.  Pray for your family, pray for the world.

can do all things through him who strengthens me.  Phillipians 4:13

Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet  

We all need a nudge sometimes to wake up to a spiritual reality. Nudge someone-pass it on!
