Just As You Are

Just As You Are

Know that the Lord, He is God; it is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Psalm 100:3

Recommended Reading Psalm 139:13-16

A
proud grandmother was admiring the way her four-year-old granddaughter
had dressed herself—until she got to the feet. "Why, honey," the
grandmother said gently, "I think you've put your shoes on the wrong
feet." The little girl looked down at her feet and then up at her
grandmother. "But, Grandma, these are the only feet I've got!"

In her
misunderstanding, the little girl made an important point, one that
modern, image-conscious people would do well to remember: The features
God has given us are the only ones we've got! It's easy today to become
dissatisfied with who we are and what we have been given: our looks,
our intelligence, our skills and talents, our personality, our physical
build. But the Bible says we are the handiwork of God—that He shaped us
in our mother's womb. A large part of becoming comfortable "in our own
skin" is recognizing that we are unique in God's sight. We are
one-of-a-kind people, created to accomplish for Him what only we can.

Consider taking stock of who you are and thanking God for His perfect wisdom in creating you to be one-of-a-kind.

He who is not contented with what he has would not be contented with what he would like to have.
