Extreme Makeover of the Inside

Day 10- Tuesday
I have direct access to the throne of grace through Jesus Christ. Hebrews 4:14-16
¹⁴Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

¹⁵For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin.

¹⁶Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

This has got to be one of my favorite verses- group of verses in the bible- it is so freeing- I love the Christ can sympathize with MY weaknesses- that he was also tempted in areas that I was-
I know he was not tempted to wear makeup or anything - but he was tempted to do things that would please man over His heavenly Father- but he didn't back down! And because he didn't back down - I have access to the throne of my Creator! And my access to that throne is so that I can have mercy and grace when I need it! yaaaaaaaa!!!!

okay so today- well yesturday- I had no devine revelations- no voice of God in my head - but I did see swimsuits for sale- and the thought of trying one on almost made me sick- To early- I am obviously not there yet- course I have never met one girl who likes trying on swimsuits -

I am finding it easier and easier each morning to look in the mirror and hear myself say tha tI am beautiful- but the harder part for me has been believing things about my character- my inner beauty - My fear with having make up has made me realize that I have tried to use my outer beauty to cover up for the lack of beauty I have on the inside- people will just look at my face and not realize that I'm ugly on the inside- things that I should deal with, pride, judgment , insecurities, fears, lies and hurts have all been pushed under the surface boiling into a big black mess- If I look good on the outside- no one will see how icky I am on the inside- right?

I realize that yes- God finds aspects of me beautiful- but I am ugly- there are things on the inside that need a good scrubing.

So what areas in your life need scrubbing? What have you been using your outer beauty to cover up?
