Honest. As much as I feel like disagreeing with my own statement, In Jesus' eyes, I'm pure perfection -- perfect by him.

AND, so are you, if you are his bride.

From Spurgeon's Morning and Evening Devotional

December 2


Morning

“Thou art all fair, my love.”

- Son_4:7

The Lord’s admiration of his Church is very wonderful, and his description of her beauty is very glowing. She is not merely fair, but “all fair.” He views her in himself, washed in his sin-atoning blood and clothed in his meritorious righteousness, and he considers her to be full of comeliness and beauty. No wonder that such is the case, since it is but his own perfect excellency that he admires; for the holiness, glory, and perfection of his Church are his own glorious garments on the back of his own well-beloved spouse. She is not simply pure, or well-proportioned; she is positively lovely and fair! She has actual merit! Her deformities of sin are removed; but more, she has through her Lord obtained a meritorious righteousness by which an actual beauty is conferred upon her. Believers have a positive righteousness given to them when they become “accepted in the beloved” (Eph_1:6). Nor is the Church barely lovely, she is superlatively so. Her Lord styles her “Thou fairest among women.” She has a real worth and excellence which cannot be rivalled by all the nobility and royalty of the world. If Jesus could exchange his elect bride for all the queens and empresses of earth, or even for the angels in heaven, he would not, for he puts her first and foremost-”fairest among women.” Like the moon she far outshines the stars. Nor is this an opinion which he is ashamed of, for he invites all men to hear it. He sets a “behold” before it, a special note of exclamation, inviting and arresting attention. “Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair” (Son_4:1). His opinion he publishes abroad even now, and one day from the throne of his glory he will avow the truth of it before the assembled universe. “Come, ye blessed of my Father” (Mat_25:34), will be his solemn affirmation of the loveliness of his elect.
And here is perfect beauty -- (hubby is equally drop-dead beautiful for the same reasons, but I've known that since the day I met him.)

Go ahead! Try an argue that. :p

(Feel free to add your photo. It's good to see who God thinks is worth gloating over.)

because our family is so generous, i now have a paperwhite and four fires registered to my account. :eek:

everyone has their own, and i agree it's a great tool.

though i heard a pastor say he used to love the sound of rustling pages in church
and now has to get used to the glow of devices. lol

Dear Santa,
Could I have a pitchfork for Christmas? I promise not to stab you with it.)

(And, I had to check three times to make sure I wrote "Santa," not "Satan." lol)

For the record I have always been ashamed of my physical appearance but if anyone has ever wondered what I look like that mystery will be solved today. But even so my issue is that when i look at others regardless of their appearances or who they are what they have done in life I only see beauty I see a wondrous creature that God took such great care in forming in the womb down the every single hair on their head when they see ugly I see beauty when they see filth I see clean when they see unworthy I see a reigning king and queen.

It's easy to see with God's eyes when i look at others but when i look at myself it's not so easy image1(1).jpg image1(1).jpg

You're surprising close to what I imagined, except I thought you had mop-head (think early Beatles' photos for that reference) and I didn't know you were that muscular.

Funny though. Most people look the exact opposite of what I imagine to the point that I used to have people come in to work to see the boss, talk to me for a while, and I'm wondering why they seem so friendly to me. They seemed friendly because we've talked often over the phone, but that's not how I imagined they looked. lol (Yes, they laughed at me when they figured out I didn't recognize them.)
