I Have Beautiful Feet~

Thursday greetings!

I haven’t had a pedicure in a few weeks.  It’s about time for some nail clipping, cuticle cutting, and fresh nail polish.  Essie Marshmallow, please! At this point it will also require a professional-grade sander and copious amounts of coconut oil to smooth out my calluses.  Plus, did I mention that on March 6^th the big toe on my right foot sustained an injury resulting in my losing that nail?  My son-in-law calls the vacant, pink nail bed “The monster.”  And yet, dear people, I have beautiful feet!

Romans 10:15 "…How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"

That’s right!  Whenever you or I get up and go to encourage someone with the good news of God’s forgiveness, eternal salvation, joy, love, hope, provision, faith, peace, healing, and protection, that makes our feet – pedicured or not – beautiful.

Notice how this verse does not say, “How beautiful are the lips of those who bring good news.”  Sometimes, we need to get up and go and make a person-to-person connection.   A phone call or a text is not enough.  The best part is that when we show up, the focus will be on God’s goodness and not on how we look.

Over the years there have been many lovely feet that showed up on the body of a living person who reached out to help me and pray with me in my moment of need.  It was life giving and life transforming. 

May all our feet be “beautiful” on a regular basis.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Thank You for the beautiful feet of those who have reached out to us in the past.  Bless them for their encouraging words, and bless us as we get up and go encourage others.  In Jesus’ name, AMEN~
