Glory and Praise...

Philippians 1:9-11

I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding. For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ’s return. May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation - the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ - 

for this will bring much glory and praise to God.

Beautiful Masterpiece, may this be your prayer today not only for yourself, but for your sisters. It is easy to lose focus and get off course. The daily grind and subsequent challenges can be overwhelming. We can succumb to survival mode and forget to thrive.

Let’s make the choice today to remember this important truth; 

He created us and called us to live a life that brings Him glory and praise. 

May we recommit to loving lavishing. To growth. To pausing to reflect on and live out what really matters. To a purity of heart and mind that reflects the presence of our Savior. To consistently assessing whether our thoughts and actions depict the character of Christ. And to meditating on what that all really means.

As His beautiful daughters, we have a vital role in His world. Because of who He is, we have value and purpose for being. We are His Masterpieces. He delights in shaping our lives to reflect more of Him. 

And so today, dearest Masterpiece, before family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, classmates...let Him use you for His glory and praise...
