How Do I Look? Part 1

Main Scripture:  Investigate my life, O God, find out everything about me; Cross-examine and test me, get a clear picture of what I’m about; See for yourself whether I’ve done anything wrong— then guide me on the road to eternal life. Psalms 139: 23-24 (MSG)

 “How Do I Look?”  is a makeover show airing on the Style Network. The show features "fashion victims," purportedly turned in by their friends, coworkers, and family members. These ladies usually have big dreams and beautiful hearts and the makeover often coincides with a turning point in their life, such as starting college, changing careers, or losing weight. They usually have a no fashion sense and their appearance often negatively affects their own lives and other’s around them. These people however are usually in denial and see nothing wrong with their appearance. What I like most about the show however, is that by the end of the show these ladies are transformed in the way they dress and how they think. They leave looking beautiful and confident.

Another thing I noticed about these ladies is that they are often resistant. That’s usually the case when there is a need for change. It is said that "change is hard because people overestimate the value of what they have—and underestimate the value of what they may gain by giving that up." In addition to gaining self-confidence, a makeover and a new wardrobe, many of these people often gain better relationships with their loved ones who are often affected by these persons appearance.

In the same way ladies, in our quest to fulfill our God given potential it is important that we ask others to do an assessment of us. Understand that sometimes we are so set in our ways, sometimes our experiences are so limited that we are blinded and we are unable to see what needs to be changed in us. We often are unable to see that we are hurting those we love or even hurting our own chances of improving ourselves and our relationships.

David once asked God to search him and to know his thoughts, He wanted God to show him if there was anything he was doing wrong that needed to change. Let’s start off this series by asking God How Do I Look?  Spend some time today asking the one who created you to tell you if there is anything that needs to be changed and ask him to guide you to the right path.

Have A God Filled Day Ladies

Let’s Pray,

Father God, search us today Lord, show us the things in us that are not pleasing to you and that should be removed. Cleanse us Father and lead us into the path of eternal life. We thank you for all you have done.

In Jesus Name

Amen
