Your Unique Design - Accepting Who You Are

I often think about Eve. The woman that God created to be the help meet to Adam, I believe, his soul-mate and his partner. I think about how beautiful and perfect that she must have been, for God to have so carefully formed her, breathe life into her. No doubt, everything was just the right size (whatever that is), her skin the perfect shade, no wrinkles, cellulite or grey hair. But really? Did God not take the same amount of care to create me? to create you as well? I have come to the realization, as of late, that there is nothing about me that is an accident. Not one part of my DNA is an uh-oh. From the size of my feet, to my thick blond hair, my sensitive (I cry easily) nature, my personality, my gifts, my talents, my one-of-a-kind me. God formed me, oh so carefully, just as He did Eve. He knew all the things that I would need to fulfill His plan for my life and He created me with that plan in mind. I can praise Him and proclaim... "I am fearfully and wonderfully made". God knew me before the beginning of time, and breathed life into me.


God knew you as well. You were not an accident, you were not happenstance. You were CREATED by the great Creator. As Robert Lewis said, "You are not just a finely tuned machine, you are the special artistic creation of the CREATOR Himself." Be thankful today for the way that God made you. Seek to find His purpose for your life.

Psalm 139:13-18
For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.  My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.  Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.  How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!  If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
 

Jeremiah 1:5
Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee...


Genesis 1:27
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
