The Car

"Mommy, do you still love my blue car?"

"Yes, of course.  Why wouldn't I?"

"Because, I can't get the play-dough out of it.  It's stuck." 

This short conversation with my precious Rhett revealed so much.

How often do we question our worth, our desirableness, our value?  How many time do we stare into the mirror and don't see a beautiful creation?  It's heart-breaking how many times I feel inadequate and IMPERFECT.  I consider myself some-what intelligent, but my mind fools me on a daily hourly basis.  Seriously, it's ridiculous how easily I fall prey to these mind tricks.

So, the next time your mind begins to play tricks on you and doubt creeps in, repeat this conversation:

"Father God, do you still love me?"

"Yes, of course.  Why wouldn't I?"

You are His beloved, whether you believe it or not.  Your imperfections will never change how much God loves you.  Now, go out and walk with your head held high.
