Penny's Thoughts

I went to a exercise/bible study monday morning. It was just me and two other ladies, so it was nice to not have to worry about working out with guys. The lady who leads the whole thing is an amazing women. Anyway we were talking about Deuteronomy 7:6 “For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.” And how that as girls we often feel that we are truely pretty if a boy likes us or notices us. And that is true if you remember in middle school it was all about fitting in and dressing like all the other girls and getting boys to notice you and ask you out. Well what the leader said was that it doesnt matter what guys think about you because you are God’s treasured possession and he made you the way he wanted you and to him you are beautiful. And that you should look your best for yourself and not worry about what others are thinking of you. My point is that we are God’s children and he created us in his image and that what others think of us should not be important. What is important is how we live for God and through God. Look pretty for yourself. And always remember that you are God’s treasured possessions.
