Hey Brave Ladies! Happy .
✨So last night I went to the movies and watched the new “Aladdin” movie with my kids and it was FABULOUS! We loved it!! ✨Nonetheless, today’s little word of encouragement may be a little inspired by some of the words uttered by Genie as he put into action Aladdin’s very first wish... which if you’re familiar with the story, it was ✨”I want to be a prince.” BUT what caught my attention, was not his request, but what the Genie’s response was...
✨At that instant the Genie is so excited to make his master’s wish come true, that in total excitement he screams at the top of his lungs “I AM GOING TO FABULIZE YOU!” And puff he did his magic!
✨Which got me thinking... how many times as women are we waiting to be “fabulized” through make-up, clothing, hair. Simply focusing on the outward appearance for it to only be temporary? Now don’t get me wrong, I believe in self-care and looking “fabulous” as much as I can! I love make-up, clothes, and shoes.
✨But this same very concept takes me to another part, later on in the movie where Genie tells Aladdin, “You look like a prince on the outside. But I didn't change anything on the inside.”
✨And this right here is what no Genie, no make-up, no hair-cut, no clothes, no style of shoe can do to truly fabulize us! You see God wants to FABULIZE US FROM THE INSIDE OUT, not the outside in!
✨When he created you, he made you in his image, in his likeness, BUT life happens, I get it! Now more than ever God is waiting for you to cry out to him, seek him first, love him with all your heart, all your mind, and all your soul. Because he wants to FABULIZE YOU! In fact I know without a doubt that God is GONNA FABULIZE YOU!
✨He is anxiously waiting for you, just like that Genie was anxiously waiting on Aladdin to make his first wish, only difference, God Fabulizes your inside first then your outside!
✨1 Samuel 16:7 explains that while we look at the outward appearance, He looks at the heart. To him your inside is so much more important that he is (in my opinion) screaming (with excitement)”Brave Woman, I will heal your broken heart and bind up your wounds (Psalm 147:3) because out of it flows life (Proverbs 4:23)”
✨That my friend is the way God wants to Fabulize You! Therefore, present your request to God and do not worry or be anxious about anything else, God is ✨
