Day 35 - You Were Made For More!

Today I'm changing the title of today's entry in the Made to Crave Devotional to I was made for more!

"I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe."  Ephesians 1:18-19a

Thought for the Day:  We were made for more!  More than the failure, more than this vicious cycle of defeat, more than being ruled by our taste buds, body image, rationalizations, and guilt.  We were made for victory.

Prayer:
Dear Lord, thank You for the truth that I am made for more.  Please help me to soak this truth in and to live it out.  Enlighten the eyes of my heart so I may believe and receive what You have for me today.  Show me a new perspective as I seek to honor You with my choices.  In Jesus' name.  Amen

I am grateful that the Lord loves, especially with how stubborn & downright stupid I can be sometimes.  To get something through my thick skull the Lord used a person to put a mirror to the insecurities I tell myself over & over, He used the Miss & Mrs event last night, this devotional & a Christian man I trust to speak some truth to me.  Now of course these people didn't know the Lord was using them, but oh I did!  Even to type the following words I have value are almost tearful for me to type.  Ridiculous I know!  I hate quoting this movie but it is true in Pretty Woman, Julie Roberts' character tells Richard Gere that, "the bad words are easier to believe."  They may be easier to believe, however that doesn't make them true!  I have value as the daughter of the King.  As a person of value I have the right to set boundaries & set stricter ones with those who treat me like I don't have value.
