DIVINELY MADE

Sometime in life, most of us will compare ourselves with someone else and this is usually because we admire some quality that is manifested in that individual. We are not jealous of them; we just want to be able to do what they do because we feel that there is a deficit in our lives. This is what I experienced on this week and the Holy Spirit sweetly reminded me to accept who God divinely made me to be, and I am qualified to do what He has called me to do. I realized trying to duplicate others is saying to God, “You made a mistake, I know better than you, and there are some skills missing with which I should have been born.” I was also reminded of the saying, “Get comfortable in your skin,” in others words, “Accept yourself as you are.”

Besides the chiding of the Holy Spirit the Word gave me counsel. Listen to what the Word says about the creation of man:

You are fearfully and wonderfully made. (Psalms 139: 14b)

How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! (Psalms 139:17)

Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee. (Jeremiah 1:5a)

But now God hath set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. (1 Corinthians 12:18)

Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. (Matthew 10:30)

I am now resting in the fact that I possess everything I need to fulfill my assignment here on earth for God my creator had His hands on me since my inception. Now, all I need to do is go forth confident in the fact I am divinely made.
