We all struggle with a sense that if we were more, had more, or had done less “bad things,” then our lives would be significantly better. Over the next three weeks our hope, particularly if you are new to exploring faith and/or Renovation, is that we would all see together that a change in our appearance, our status, or our history doesn’t automatically equal better, especially with regard to God. He is not waiting for a better version of you to love more.

Every single person on the planet has thought at some point, “If I could change this one thing about myself, then I would be more confident; then I would be more capable; then I could have the life/wife/husband/job/friends I want; then I would be happy." It is this thought that has motivated the ridiculous 11 billion dollar tab that 15 million Americans and people living in America spent last year on purely aesthetic and unnecessary cosmetic procedures.

So what can we do to avoid the trap of Insecurity in and dissatisfaction with who we are and how we’re made? Well, for the Christian especially, we run to the scriptures to see what they have to say. Join us today as we consider a song and prayer of the Israelite king, David, as he considers who he is in God’s eyes.

Psalm 139:13-16
