God's Masterpiece
Bible Reading: Isaiah 29:23; 43:7; 60:21; Ephesians 2:10; 4:22-24; I Peter 3:3-4 The media continually presents its' concept of beauty, an image which is impossible to achieve for most of us. We are too old, too fat, or too "something" to qualify. Yet we are all designed to be beautiful in the Kingdom of God, destined to become a masterpiece, lovely from the inside out. We might not look like it right now, but God is working on us. The soul submitted to the Savior is utterly elegant, and its beauty cannot help but shine through the outer form. Moment of Meditation: The media manipulates minions; the Messiah makes masterpieces. A Talk with Jesus: Lord, make me beautiful on the inside, a work of your grace, and may that beauty spill out all over the place! Amen. Author Unknown

They say that beauty is in the beholder. Sometimes we need to put our glasses on and take another look at ourselves.
It has been my experience, that some of the best looking people in the program, have the poorest outlook on themselves and think of themselves as ugly, while others want what they have. If that beauty from within doesn't shine on the outside, we can never be happy with ourselves and always be left searching for that something that seems out of reach. Had to laugh at myself, I always thought I was ugly and in recovery, I looked at an old album and realized I wasn't so bad after all. I thought I was my disease, and couldn't see past that.
