We grow in confidence in God when we feel loved by Him. When we feel beautiful in the grace of God in His eyes—though the eyes of men do not see that beauty, but He does—beloved, when you feel loved and you feel beautiful, you respond very differently with your free time and with your resources. What you do with your time and money changes dramatically. What you do in your imagination, in the secret place of your own thought life, is really different if you feel beautiful and loved than if you feel shameful and dirty. Believers are in both camps, and it is a tragedy. A person who feels dirty—I am talking about a born-again believer—will live dirty, will run from Him, and will not run to Him. They will hide from Him, to try to fix it on their own, and then come later when they have a better offering, but that is futile. We come in our weakness, and we accept the truth of how He feels about us because of who He is and what He did. We accept the beauty that He imparts, that He sees beauty even in the willing spirit we have. I tell you, it changes the way that we process our life; our own imaginations, our thought life, the secret thought life is very different when it is rooted in this reality.
