I thank God for me!
By Pastor Dr. Aggrey Soyekwo
Psalm 139:13-14 "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."
The psalmist talks about how God knows us from the begining because He created us. This means He knows and designed every detail of who we are. And we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Knowing and appreciating this truth is transformational to how we look at ourselves and view life.
There are so many people doing so many things to change who they were made to be by God. They don’t like their race, tribe, body shapes, size, skin colour, sexuality, and so on. Because they think others are better than themselves, they feel inferior and strive to be like them. They are dissatisfied with who they are and what they have, and get stressed over it. We will all never be the same by God’s design.
Comparison is good if it inspires you to become better, but not like others. On the other hand it can be stressful if you just want to be like others. You are you. God made you uniquely to be you. Appreciate how He made you. Strive to excel by being yourself. This attitude creates a thankful heart, joyous spirit and a peaceful mind. God made no mistake to make you what you are and to place you in the current location.
Acts 17:26,28 "From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands… ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’"
