Focus on Jesus
“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”—Luke 10:41–42 (NIV)

Embrace Imperfections
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.—2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV)
NOBODY IS PERFECT. Yet, many of us suffer from negative thoughts about our self-image—maybe it’s our reflection in the mirror or that nagging feeling like we’re falling short on making the holidays wonderful for our loved ones. The fact is that we are completely beautiful in God’s eyes—right now, exactly as we are. He loves and accepts us.
Lord, free me from unrealistic expectations and unhealthy judgements. Help me to see myself with Your eyes of acceptance and love.
