no hope in hair.

this morning i was watching the fox news channel and they were interviewing a plus size model. she hardly looked plus size, but i guess that in the world of modeling, size classifications are slightly skewed. anyways, she shared about her struggles with anorexia and how she has now learned to accept herself at a healthy average size. great! i like that part! but, she then went on to share how she dealt with overcoming an eating disorder by focusing on different things...like her hair and how much she loved it. that got me thinking. thank goodness i don't have to look to my hair to overcome things. there is certainly no hope in my hair! especially after today, not having washed it in (yikes!) three days.

as believers, thank God for the hope we have in Him through Christ's work on the cross. and what a grand hope we have thinking about eternity in Heaven! Psalm 130:5 - "I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope..."

thinking on heaven...i read this from Charles Spurgeon's, Morning and Evening, and it nourished my soul!

"let believers on earth imitate the saints in heaven in their nearness to Christ. let's on earth be as the elders are in heaven, sitting around the throne. may Christ be the object of our thoughts, the center of our lives. How can we bear to live at such a distance from our Beloved? Lord Jesus, draw us nearer to Yourself! Say to us, abide in Me, and I in you..."

what a peace and hope we have when we draw near to Christ!
