《Walking With Jesus A Daily Devotional》Day Forty-Nine

Day Forty-Nine.
Verse: " 'You are altogether beautiful, my darling; there is no flaw in you.'" Song of Songs 4:7
Did you know: that the King of Kings thinks you are beautiful just the way you are?
He loves you just the way you are. (Psalm 136:1) You created you just the way you are.(Psalm 139:14) You are flawless and perfect in God's eyes. (Song of Songs 4:7)
So we do we spend our whole lives hating our bodies when God made us that way? When God loves us just the way we are?
I was super skinny up until I was put on medicine for bipolar, depression, and anxiety. I gained weight like crazy. On one medicine I gained 50 pounds in a month. I was crazy amounts of stretch marks because I gained so much weight in a short amount of time. I used to hate myself for being overweight and called myself fat a lot. It was hard going from super skinny to overweight almost overnight.
Many years later I am still trying to love myself despite my weight. It's been tough but this past year I have been losing weight for my health. I have a fatty liver so I have to lose weight. So far I was lost 25 pounds which is amazing. But I want to keep losing. I need to work harder on losing weight. I also need to love myself no matter what weight I am.
We all need to love ourselves despite our size. Our identity and self worth isn't defined by our weight, how many likes we get on a picture on Instagram, or what other people think of us. Our identity and self worth is defined by God.
Want to know what God thinks of you?

God knows you are:
You are beautiful. (Psalm 45:11)
You are unique. (Psalm 139:13)
You are loved. (Jeremiah 31:3)
You are special. (Ephesians 2:10)
You are created with a purpose. (Jeremiah 29:11)
You are cared for. (Ephesians 3:17-19)
You are lovely. (Daniel 12:3)
You are precious. ( 1 Corinthians 6:20)
You are strong. (Psalm 18:35)
You are important. (1 Peter 2:9)
You are forgiven. ( Psalm 103:12)
You are protected. (Psalm 121:3)
You are chosen. (John 15:16)
You are mine. (Isaiah 43:1)
God loves you just the way you are no matter what your weight is, no matter how many likes you get on a picture on social media, or what other people think of you. God loves you so much. You don't have to change your hair, lose weight, and then God will love you.
God loves you just the way you are because He made you the way and He loves you that way.
Prayer:
Dear God,
Help me to love myself just the way you made. I thank you for the way you created me. Help me remember who I am you because in you Lord: I am loved, cared for, forgiven, and so much more. Please grab my hand and stay close my side. Help me continue to build a strong relationship with you.
I thank you for all my many blessings and for Your Son.
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen!

Golden Age
In the latter half of the 21st century fully immersive virtual reality has finally become mainstream; a brand new game company called Aurum Productions promises to bring about the most realistic fantasy MMORPG ever created with their flagship title, Golden Age. A new player who goes by the name, D0n, loads into the world of virtual reality for the first time in his life thanks to these promises. But what catches his attention isn’t the wild monsters, the in-depth quest lines, or the ability to perform superhuman feats — what draws D0n at first is a bit more… mundane. Sure he’ll put in the time to level up his character… just as soon as he can finish applying the last layer of paint on his new coffee table… and after he lands that triple backflip he’s been trying to do all day… not to mention the lady next door was talking about a new horned rabbit stew recipe she was working on… Sure a world of swords and magic in virtual reality means a whole slew of fantastical experiences you can’t get anywhere else, but it’s not like those are going anywhere. And virtual or not, D0n is determined to live out his reality with a pace and vision that suits him best. It’s just a shame that his habit of a personalized play style has some far reaching consequences even Golden Age’s dev team could have never predicted. New Chapters uploaded every Wednesday.

The Unsorcerer
DISCLAIMER: The cover pic is not my original work. Credits goes to the Illustrator. This is a story of a man named Cipher, a 21st Century man reincarnated in a world where magic is the way of life. In the continent of Iarica, the people of this land are able to wield the crystals or magic stones for whatever purpose they desire. These people are called "Sorcerers", blessed individuals who are favored by the Gods and gifted with an ability to manipulate "Mana", the energy of the World and the energy source that makes all of the machines run. Cipher in contrast, is not. He is an "Unsorcerer", a person unable to wield the crystals and mana and eventually magic itself. Because of this "defect", he is shunned, ridiculed, and abused by most people and eventually by the whole society. Little did Iarica and her denizens know, this so-called reject of society is more than what he seems... Note: This humble Author-san is not a native English speaker, so there will be grammatical errors. Also the chapters are short, about 1K words. However I will try my best efforts on reaching the 2k-4k words threshold. Another note is that this will be a Harem fic, so to anyone who are not fan of the genre this may not be your cup of tea. Any criticsm are welcome as long it can help me to improve my writing skills since I'm just a newcomer in this scene.
