Need Encouragement?

Psalm 84:1
I am reading a book and this verse was used in a way I had never recognized before. It says: How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord Almighty. This is me-and all of you!! The Spirit of the Living God dwells within us...and we are LOVELY!! This is incredibly encouraging to me as a woman in today's society- where I am constantly bombarded with images of what the world considers beautiful- and reminders that I don't measure up. All that really matters is that I am lovely because my soul is a dwelling place of the Almighty Lord. :) Praise Jesus!!!

Thanks Kelley! I am new and trying to make new friends :) I love listening to the DAB every day and can always use the encouragement, support and prayers of fellow sojourners in this walk with Christ. :) Look forward to getting to know more people :)

I like it RaceGirl. BTW, may I recommend that you nurture a friendship with Kelley. You will not regret it! There are lots of very loving people with lots of stories. Many understand from experience what you have said about Psalms 84:1 today.
