"You are beautiful ... How beautiful you are" (Song of Solomon 6:4;
7:6). We wonder, Lord, how You can possibly see any beauty in us? We are
sinners - "We have all strayed like sheep. Each one of us has turned to
his own way." We thank You, Lord, that Christ died for sinners: "the
Lord laid all our sins on Him" (Isaiah 53:6). When You look upon us, You
do not see our sin. You see our Saviour, Your Son, the Lord Jesus
Christ. When You look at us, this is what You see: "The blood of Jesus,
Your Son, cleanses us from all sin" (1 John 1:7). This, Lord, is the
beauty You see - the beauty of Jesus, our Saviour.

Lord, may there be less trying to get our own way - and more walking in Your way.
