A number of my friends from my former career as a Mary Kay Independent Sales Director are out in Los Angeles this week for a leadership conference. As I read their posts on Facebook and look at the pictures they have taken, I notice that they have seen preparations being made for the upcoming People's Choice Awards. Red carpets being prepared for all the beautiful people to show up in their fancy clothes and have their pictures taken.
Have you ever thought about what it must be like to be one of those "beautiful people"? To have a camera in your face everywhere you go. Always being followed. Always being photographed.
Did you realize that you are one of the "beautiful people"? Do you find that hard to believe? Particularly when you look in the mirror and see a few more gray hairs or a few more wrinkles or a few (maybe more than a few!) extra pounds. Or especially when you look in the mirror first thing in the morning! Yikes!
But that's what Scripture tells us we are. We who belong to Jesus, who have the Holy Spirit resident within us, are the beautiful people! And are becoming more and more beautiful as we continually yield our lives to Him, follow His leading, and become more like Him.
Think about that......and let that thought brighten your day!
"And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord." (2 Corinthians 3:18 NIV)
