Who are you? You are captivating.
Do you see yourself that way? Whether or not we realize it, the desire to be captivating is in our lives. Need proof? Check out the makeup and perfume ads, for starters. These ads try to sell us allure. If we don’t have said product, then we’re not captivating.
Lie!
Check out its definition:
“enchanting or irresistible: attracting and holding somebody's attention by charm or other pleasing or irresistible features”
Do you feel like that? Most of us, if we’re honest, would probably answer “no” to that question. But check out God’s perspective:
“How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.”
Psalm 139:17-8
One of those thoughts, indeed, is Jeremiah 29:11:
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
If God didn’t love us that much, if He didn’t find us that irresistible, then He certainly wouldn’t invest in giving great futures for our lives. He’s constantly at work to create those futures. He’s constantly thinking about what He can do to bless us.
He is thinking about us right now. He is our riveted audience right now!
You are captivating. You may not feel beautiful alluring or glamorous, but God is besotted with you!
“Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.”
Song of Solomon 4:7
You have captured God’s attention! Celebrate that!
