Bad Hair Days!
"Consider what he has done—before the foundation of
the world he chose us to become, in Christ, his holy and
blameless children living within his constant care."
Ephesians 1: 4
D. A. Benton checked into a five-star hotel to speak for a business
group.
The next morning, she went through her exercise routine, then decided
to
see the meeting room. Benton was dressed in sweats and hadn’t
touched
her face or hair. To her surprise, someone was already in the
room.
It was the meeting planner who had contracted Benton. This woman
had
always been professional and friendly on the phone, but didn’t
recognize
Benton. “She brusquely brushed past me in the hallway, almost
bumping
me aside as though she could barely tolerate this less than
acceptable
individual in her territory.”
Benton still recalls the slight.
We don’t always look our best, but the Lord never
brushes past, bumps us aside, or acts as
though
He can barely tolerate us.
Whatever state we’re in, He listens.
If we feel discouraged, He knows. If we feel
guilty, we can tell Him—even on bad hair
days.
"Jesus knows thy sorrow, knows thine ev’ry care,
knows thy deep contrition, hears thy feeblest prayer."
William O. Cushing
