With this
being the first day of spring, certain thoughts become more prevalent: spring
break, getting in shape for summer and more revealing clothing and all manner
of negative body image issues in response to life’s reality. We seem to consider
anything which is critical, negative and punishing.
But what
about considering some lilies?
“And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of
the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say
unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.”
Matthew 6:28-29
Wouldn’t it
be healthier if, on this first day of spring, we could gear our minds towards
the beauty of who we actually are, according to God’s perspective?
“Behold, thou art
fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes.”
Song of Solomon 1:15
“I am the rose of
Sharon, and the lily of the valleys. As the lily among thorns, so is my love
among the daughters.”
Song of Solomon 2: 1-2
“O my dove…let me see
your form…for your form is lovely.”
Song of Solomon 2:14
“Thou art all fair, my
love; there is no spot in thee.”
Song of Solomon 4:7
It’s worth
considering.
