2 Corinthians 5:2-3

Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked.

Romance

So I was reading a pretty awesome chapter of Captivating, when it challenged me to ask this question..."JESUS how are YOU romancing me?"... This is a beautiful question.

So, If you are struggling with self worth loneliness, appearance, whatever it is. Looking at JESUS, and TRUTH about who you are to HIM, will differ from what you are currently letting the world tell you.

It's hard to remember and easy to forget. I KNOW. Ha. I do it all the time. Like ALL the time.
So...
I'm going to ask this question every night. And really think and answer it.
Because HE is showing HIS love for you specifically, open your eyes and look for it.

Let's be confident in our relationship with JESUS.
