I wonder if I am crown of beauty or living like one of the thorns in the crown of Christ at the time of his crucifixion. Thank God it is not based on what I do but what He has done. I must remember to choose to let His light shine in and through me rather than leaving the light of ME on. I find this easy some days but others it is not so, however in His great love He sends someone into my day that His light is shining through. Choose to be the light He uses to take away the darkness some are in.
Isaiah 62:3
You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord,
and a royal diadem in the hand of your God
Zechariah 9:16
On that day the Lord their God will save them,
as the flock of his people;
for like the jewels of a crown
they shall shine on his land.
For how great is his goodness, and how great his beauty
Psalms 100:3
Know that the Lord, he is God!
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him; bless his name!
For the Lord is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and his faithfulness to all generations
