What a variety of weather we have been encountering over the past couple months. I believe that variety could just well be the spice of life, and it's pwn uniqueness separates all God's creation! As we look around, we can see a variety in everything that has been created: from mountains and trees, to hilltops and valleys, to the oceans and seas, and then just look at all the birds of the air with each one so delicately brush-stroked by God's own hand; and then there are the seasons that bring in such a wide variety of colors especially in Fall, as the trees begin to display such varying colors of the autumn leaves; each one so breathtakingly colored as we look around and enjoy all the beauty God has brought into our lives.
You and I are also various displays of God's handiwork, each of us uniquely designed and predestined to bring glory and honor to Him. He shares His love to one and all unconditionally because we are His and He is ours forevermore. We were created to enjoy life and share in His fellowship day by day as children of the most High God! We were uniquely designed by His own hand in a variety of shapes and sizes, colors and tones, and none of us were created or placed in this world mistakenly. None of us were created exactly the same and even identical twins who may look the same and are difficult to tell apart, have different personalities.
So if God created all of us differently, why do we try to look like someone else and want to be different from what we were created to be? Why do we try to fit into man's ideas of what we should look like and who we should act like instead of pleasing our creator? Are we seeing clearly or are we seeing through a clouded vision that keeps us from seeing the reality of it all? Why are we not content to be who we are and who God created us to be? Could it be we are being deceived by the father of lies and deceiver of many? Could it be we are allowing our minds to be filled with negative thinking instead of positively knowing who we really are in Christ Jesus?
In all God's creation, He has proven time and time again that He loves variety as He declared in Genesis 1 after viewing His works "It is good!" So if God says we, his creations, are good with our different shapes, colors, and sizes, then why do we allow negative thinking to overshadow us and to make us feel less than others, when in reality God loves and values each one of us exactly the same! God values YOU just the way you are! Contrary to what others may say or what you may feel, there is nothing wrong with how you look; so stop looking in that mirror thinking negatively about yourself. Instead look in the mirror and see the You God created in His own perfect design and begin to feel like the child of God you really are. Remind yourself daily, "God loves me just the way I am."
We all have fallen short of the glory of God and yet He loves each of us the same, unconditionally. There is absolutely nothing you can ever do or change to make Him love you any more or any less. No one else has your talents or your personality. Only You possess those unique qualities that make up who you are! He gave those only to you as it pleased Him and if God is pleased with what He created, what else matters! Take a honest look at yourself through your Heavenly Father's eyes until you can see Him smiling upon you, adoring you just the way you are, Unconditionally! So stop trying to change who you are physically and enjoy being who you are in Christ Jesus. He wants you to be happy in Him, to enjoy peace in Him, to be free to be who you truly are, and to be content in Him! God loves you and so do I~~~
