1 August Sometimes we put walls around ourselves. We are like turtles, who withdraw into our shells whenever we think we might be in danger. We have been hurt, afraid, or just plain shy, or maybe we have a secret we don’t want anyone to know. We are afraid to let some people get past the wall. God knows exactly what is inside of us. He sees the potential in each of us. In his book Just Like Jesus, Max Lucado writes, “Jesus loves you just the way you are, but loves you too much to leave you that way.” Jesus is patient with us and will keep “polishing” us until we shine like stars. Jesus, patiently, with His unfailing love, tells us, “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” John 10:10 Sometimes when we choose not to believe Him, He will use people, painful circumstances, death, financial problems, sickness, sorrow, and disappointments to help us to take down the wall. When we trust Him and look to Him for strength, wisdom, and direction, He brings out the beauty in each one of us. “ PRAYER Lord, I am so glad You know everything about me and love me anyway. Thank You that You know best how to bring out our inner beauty. Help us to yield to Your polishing and trust You in everything. Amen.
