Me: You are looking full feather today!
Prodigal: Thank you , I am trying to look my best.
One thing I like, one thing that I can praise the Lord for is a pair of jeans that fit just right. This is something that speaks to my heart. First of all, I have always been an energetic tomboy that loves to take off in a race in a heart beat, whether I am suppose to or not. I would love to say my competitive spirit has stopped me from running in a dress and heels but unfortunately all I can really say is that it slowed me down some. Also it is a good way to get blisters on the back of your ankle. So hands down the best overall versatile outfit you can wear; yes, that would be jeans.
I am five foot one, which in jean world means that I have to wear petites. Even with petite jeans, a lot of jeans are still too long in length. One of the struggles I have is finding that perfect pair of jeans; that fits just right and is the right length. When that pair is found, a special bond is created and those jeans stay around for awhile.
The perfect jeans, are the right length, they fit me in all the right places and they feel good. We cannot end this list without adding that they have to make you look good too. If you have all this, when wearing jeans, you have comfort, utility, flexibility and confidence. This would then be labeled as the perfect pair of jeans.
This brings me back to today. I was having a conversation with a dear friend and I was telling her about an interaction with someone else and the Holy Spirit gave me the right words. I was laughing and joking and I said “God made me look so good!”
We laughed but then I went on to say, how many times does God make us look so good. An unbeliever says things like they feel comfort, peace and support from us. We know it is just the Holy Spirit and God in us that they see. We say the right thing or, serve just the right way that was directed by the Lord and we receive praise. We know that it was just an act of obedience.
In the end God really is making me look good. He is giving me comfort, utility, flexibility and confidence. Those jeans might be making me look good today from the outside, but you know what? The Lord sure is making me look good from the inside today!
God thank you for making me LOOK SO GOOD!
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
