There is this song that I have heard the last 2 weeks at church. A line repeated in the chorus is "You are everything that is beautiful in me." Last night before we went to bed Amos looked up the song and we listened to it a few times before we went to bed. It is so true that there is nothing beautiful in us outside of Christ. We have a couple serious testimonies to prove it!
Lord, I pray that Amos would always see himself the way You see him. I pray that he would have a healthy mindset about who he is in You. May there be no insecurity or pride in him, but instead may his eyes be always on You and Your vision for the man You created him to be. May he always remember that though he is a wretched sinner, he is made in Your image, as a firstfruit of Your creation. May he never look in the reflection of Your Word and walk away not remembering what he looked like. May he put into practice all the You reveal he should be striving to be. Show him his identity and worth. Let him recongnize the qualities You have given him that he is to use to glorify You. Remind him also that all good things come from above, from the Father of Lights. Help him to remember that he is complete only in You, Lord. May his self image be rooted deeply in the image of Christ and His sacrifice on the cross for our souls.
