Made By God

I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. -Psalm 139:14

We all need this reminder from time to time. When we don't feel like we're good enough or capable enough or attractive enough or smart enough. Whenever we feel as though we don't measure up to others or to the task before us... we need to remember who made us.

God gives us everything we need to be who he created us to be. I can't do geometry?  Oh, well... I guess that means God will not give me any tasks that will need that knowledge (for this I am truly grateful!) or he will give me that knowledge when the time comes for me to need it.

This Psalm doesn't only put me in awe of how God made me, but also of how He made others. It helps me to stand back and appreciate the talents and abilities and uniqueness of others without feeling inferior or jealous. Except, I'm sorry to say, in the case of those who have incredible singing voices and the ability to harmonize by ear. I will always be envious of them and their talents.

Lord,
You have gifted each of us with those abilities and talents needed to live the life you wish us to. Thank you for making me unique.  Amen
