I don’t feel like I am really wonderfully made!

I walk by a store window and go “yuk! Who is that woman?”  Why am I not taller? I look so old and bent!

My friends’ hair is so cute blowing in the wind! Why is mine so straight? Wish I had different hair!

Hold on, Susie! Stop that! Do you know what you are doing? Do you really think God made a mistake when He fashioned you in your mother’s womb?

God’s Word says in Psalm 139:14 – “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful,  I know that full well.”

We all have these feelings; especially today when the world is trying to tell women how they should look!  However, if we allow these negative feelings to grow, it will affect all other aspects of our life!

We believe the Bible. It’s God’s word; it never changes. We believe God is the giver of life. We enjoy telling little children how God made them special; just like He wanted them to look. Why do we have such a hard time believing it for ourselves?

“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” Ephesians 2:10

For me, I know sin creeps in and destroys my vision. When I fail to give quality time to God each day; the old evil one has a hey-day! He is constantly roaming through all the earth to see whom he might devour. And, it begins with one little negative thought, then another, then another!

Did you catch that phrase above: we (YOU) are God’s masterpiece! That’s a fact! As they say, you can bank on it!  If you want a revival in your heart and soul, read and study Psalm 139 in its entirety. Trust God to do a work in your spirit as only He, your Creator, can.

Precious readers, I pray as we enter springtime together, we will enjoy the joy God has for us. I pray for you often; and thank you for praying for me.

Hugs,

Exciting news: I am working on Patches’ stories for some great artwork I received from the coloring contest. Book #2 is going to be fantastic!
