Crowned a Winnerwith a Tiara of Love

• “I adorned you with jewelry: I put bracelets on your arms and a necklace around your neck, and I put a ring on your nose, earrings on your ears and a beautiful crown on your head.” (Ezekiel 16:11-12)

• Love goes perfectly with our outfit and makes evident our royal lineage.

Soak in the Jacuzzi of Love

• “Keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.” (Jude 21)

• And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God." (Ephesians 3:17-19)

Soak in the Jacuzzi of Love

• Keeping ourselves in God’s love isn’t a matter of doing or being something so God will love us. Rather, it is knowing that he loves us and abandoning ourselves to the love relationship that he began.

• Sitting in the presence of God and basking in his love will bring profits that are eternal.

Get Out, Dry Off, and Get Dressed• “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and

dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.” (Colossians 3:12-14)

Get Out, Dry Off, and Get Dressed

• Jesus basked in the love of God.• Peter offered to build shelters so they could

stay up there.• Jesus brought them off the mountain.• Listen to the Lord. Go when and where he

sends you. Take the warming glow of his love with you into the cold world.

A Gift from the Heart of God

• “I gave you my solemn oath and entered into a covenant with you, declares the Sovereign Lord, and you became mine.” (Ezekiel 16:8)

• "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—"

(Ephesians 2:8)

A Gift from the Heart of God

• His love is a gift. It is not earned or deserved.• You are already beautiful to God. You already have

his favor. He chose you and saved you. He clothed you in righteousness. He sees us without sin because Jesus took the sin away. He sees our full beauty that sin had hidden. He wants us to live this life as sin free as possible so others will see the beauty that he sees.

• His Word has his plans for a makeover.
