You Is Beautiful
You Is Beautiful
You Is Smart
You Is Important
These words were shared with a young girl, Mae Mobley in the movie, The Help. Abileen, her nanny spends a lot of time encouraging this child to believe that these words are truth. Sometime we also need to be reminded that someone thinks of us this way!
God, through the Holy Spirit has spent a lot of time reminding us of similar truths. God tell us that;
You is beautiful!
For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
Think about how adorable a baby is. Any new parent will tell you that their child is the most beautiful child that they have ever seen.From every crinkled brow to funny shaped ear, Parents adore their children. This how God your father thinks about you!
The book of Song of Solomon is thought to be a picture of Christ and His relationship with us. Listen to what God says to you,“Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, and come with me (Song of Solomon 2:10). You are beautiful!
You is smart!
It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.
1 Corinthians 1:30
You are Important!You were created in His image
What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor. You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, All sheep and oxen; Even the beasts of the field, The birds of the air, And the fish of the sea that pass through the paths of the seas. Psalms 8:4-8
You were the reason that God sent his son to die for you.
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. I John 4:10
You have been Chosen!
For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush and Seba in your stead. Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life. Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west. I will say to the north, ‘Give them up! and to the south, ‘Do not hold them back.’ Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth— everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made. Isaiah 43:3-7
