INS:You are Special!
Psalm 139:13-18
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Ps.139:14
Have you ever sat in a large air terminal and observed the steady
flow of people coming and going? It's an interesting study in variety,
for human beings come in all sizes and descriptions. They differ not
only in their physical characteristics but also in their mental and
emotional traits. The Creator chose a special pattern for every person
and used it only once.
Several years ago a friend drove me around Flint, Michigan, to show
me the vast industrial complex that has made the city famous for its
production of automobiles. As we rode by one factory, I noticed a
fenced in area with hundreds of pieces of equipment standing out in the
open. They were the dies for various models of cars, and they would be
kept for 10 years.
In God's economy there is no such field. No duplicates, no
replacements and no re-runs ever appear in the human race. Every man,
woman and child is a special expression of His creative handiwork. The
psalmist said, "I am fear fully and wonderfully made." This
distinctiveness assures us that the Lord wanted each of us to be
unique. We don't have to envy others. We can accept ourselves as we are
because God has created us in His image with specific qualities all our
own.
Feelings of inadequacy come to all of us, but the Lord never
intended that we struggle through life with a burden of inferiority.
Thank Him that you are one of a kind; then serve Him as only YOU can.
-D.J.D
Lord, we are Yours,You are our God-We have been made so wondrously;
This human frame in every part Your wisdom, power and love we see.
YOUR LIFE IS GOD'S GIFT TO YOU; WHAT YOU DO WITH IT...IS YOUR GIFT
TO GOD.
