DAY TWENTY 

“Do not look upon me, because I am dark, because the sun has tanned me. My mother’s sons were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards, but my own vineyard I have not kept.”Song of Songs 1:6 

Why do we do it? How many times have we pointed out our weakness? “I am too fat.” “My nose is too big.”  “Don’t look at me, because I am dark,” responded a young bride pointing out what would seem obvious. Yet her bridegroom saw her differently. In Song of Songs 4:7, he tells her, “There is no spot in you.” Our God looks at His bride, and He can’t see the blemishes we see because of love’s perfect work in our lives. We see blemishes, but God sees purity. We see ugliness, but God sees beauty. We see limitations, but God sees potential.
