Dixon Blvd. Shelby, NC 704-487-5811 Episcopal Church of the Redeemer 502 W Sumter St, Shelby, NC (4th & Final Part of "Tis The Sea- son" Series) As the holiday season continues, many of us are diligently pre- paring by clean- ing our homes, and putting up beautiful Christ- mas decor. Also as we get ready for par- ties, events and celebrations throughout the month we make certain that our attire and our outward appearance will either be decked out or at least presentable. I believe we should make our homes and physical ap- pearances appealing. However, we must also work on what is most important to God and that is our character. Apostle Peter states in I Peter 3:3-4 (NIV), "Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight." Another example of this is when the prophet Samuel was search- ing for a king, he was convinced that Eliab, who was tall and handsome, was surely the one that God had chosen and anointed to be king. However, God had a different person in mind. I Samuel 16:7 (ESV) says, "But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stat- ure, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart." The Most Beautiful Person Sometimes we may feel that our beauty is tainted by sin, guilt and shame. How- ever, God wants us to stop focusing on ourselves, and learn to behold where true beauty comes from. He is the essence of beauty. The more we spend time with him, studying his word, and fellowshipping with other faith-filled believers, we will be more like him. Psalm 27:4 (AMP) "One thing I have asked of the Lord, and that I will seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord [in His presence] all the days of my life, To gaze upon the beauty [the delightful love- liness and majestic grandeur] of the Lord. And to meditate in His temple." PRAY THIS PRAYER: " Lord, I praise you for being the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature. You uphold the universe by the word of your power. I adore you as the majestic King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Apostle John had a vision that you were dressed in a robe reaching down to your feet with a golden sash around your chest. The hair on your head was white like wool, as white as snow, and your eyes were like blazing fire. Your feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and your voice was like the sound of rushing waters. You are the essence of beauty. I ask you to help me concentrate on pleasing you and reflecting your char- acter. When people say that I am beautiful, I pray it's not just an outward appearance, but an inner beauty that shows that the fruit of the Spirit is being produced in my life. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen." Danyale Patterson would love to hear from you! Contact her at www.danyale. com to share a testimony, send a prayer re- quest, or book her to speak.
