Papa Moments

Oh! I love Papa moments. These are the moments where I am moved to tears because of his beauty or even an overwhelming sense of his love.

Today, well just a few moments ago, I was looking at pictures on facebook on someone's page I do not know. As I was looking through these pictures of smiling faces: young, old, adult, young adult, older. I saw the wrinkles, the smiles, the ways that their lips curve as they smile, and even just the beauty of their eyes. I began looking at these pictures especially-- the ones who are older women-- moved me to tears. I saw Jesus in them. And I realized how many times we base beauty in our society on so many standards including:

What size jeans do you wear?
What color is your hair?
How many wrinkles do you have?


But in these questions we loose site of the true question:

How much were we created for beauty? Papa loves us! He created each part of us uniquely: whether a size 24 or a size2. It does not matter that we are wrinkly or blonde or a brunette. None of these things matter.

What are we doing with each moment of our life? Where is our focus?

Is our focus on our size or our hair color?

or is it where it should be?

... Resting in the arms of love and true identity with our wonderful Creator.

Confession: I was weeping as I wrote this. I am so grateful and overwhelmed by the love of our Father- who created us each intimately and with purpose. We were not a mistake!

Psalm 139.

I pray you have an intimate revelation of God's LOVE and PURPOSE for you!

AMEN!
