First Impressions

It is human nature to look our best. After all, the first impression is the lasting impression. For human eyes, this may be true. Thankfully, when we accept Jesus Christ as our personal Savior, it is not our first impression that others see that counts. The Lord has appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness. Jeremiah 31:3. 

God looks at the sincere heart of the one who is seeking repentance and forgiveness. He accepts us exactly where we are in our lives. God showers us with His unconditional love, grace, and mercy that only a Heavenly Father can give to us. Embrace the opportunity for God to change you into the best that you can be.

Bible Verse: But the LORD said to Samuel, “Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The LORD doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7

Prayer: God, we thank you for seeing us from the inside. We give you our heart and ask you to forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We ask this prayer in the Worthy Name of Jesus. Amen.

I am a Woman of God who desires to provide spiritual guidance to those in mental, emotional, and spiritual distress. Many of us have experienced a devastating life event within the past three years. If so, then we share something in common. My life restarted in 2020. And my healing journey lasted for 16 months. It takes courage, perseverance, faith, and trust in God to restructure and build a new life. Yet, in Isaiah 43, verses 1-3, God promises us that we will never be alone. We can have the assurance that God is with us in every stormy hardship. Pray daily and pray often. Study the Bible. The Scriptures are a Love Letter from God to those who accept Jesus as their personal Savior. You will receive comfort, knowledge, and wisdom. God says, "I have loved you with an everlasting love." Jeremiah 31:3. Be blessed in Jesus' name. Amen. By profession, I am a Registered Nurse, with a passion for helping others overcome the obstacles in their lives. I am a writer of Devotionals, Romantic Poetry, and Research Articles. The recent development of Mentoring and launching as a Motivational Speaker has prompted me to address real-life issues for women from a spiritual perspective.
