1 John 3:2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.
I live out the exchanged life of continually giving my degradations to my Father and He in turn gives me mercy, compassion, forgiveness and love. I can’t always see the changes in myself because I am too close to who I still am. I can still feel the pangs of selfishness, envy, lusts and other multitudes of my soul nature. In the agony of still knowing how far I have yet to go I am humbled.
This is when my heavenly Father will send someone to me to bring clarity for how He sees me. Out of the blue someone will share with me how “beautiful” I am. I know this is not about my outer appearance but it’s a deeper word meant to describe the inner heart I am being given. Such timely words keep me encouraged. I long to hear more of them but my heavenly Father knows well not to tempt me with too much praise. He is wise.
What will I be when I truly am like Him? Such beauty is beyond my imagination.
