That morning Larry challenged us to ask God to show us His perspective. I did, and God answered through Stacy and this old woman.
As Stacy described, she was ashamed of her arthritic hands. She pointed to her fingers twisted together and her bulging wrist, saying "malo" (bad). Yet, as Stacy gently took her hands and as I assured her that she was beautiful, her face broke into a wide, toothless grin! She was beaming as she looked at her now bright pink finger nails.
God showed me how He wants to do this for me. He wants to take the things in my life that I consider bad or ugly, or that I'm ashamed of, and He wants to paint them, transform me, and assure me that I'm beautiful.
Thank you Lord for this Mexican woman.
