I am Fearfully and wonderfully made!

This morning in my devotionals, it talked about looking in a mirror. Not at our outward appearance but look at our inward self, our heart. In todays society we are such selfie based. Whether it's the gym selfie, judgement of our own weight, comparing our selfs to others, or just straight wishing we looked like others. However, God took his time when he made each and every one of us. He knew what strengths and weaknesses to give us, what flaws and what beauties. He knew us before we were born. Our days already recorded in the book of life. He knew if we would choose to believe in his son, and choose to follow him or if we would doubt and just live life. I believe in God the Father, I believe in Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Spirit. I believe and know in my heart that the Bible is truth. I was reading a quote or blog the other day, it said if I live my life for God and die, and there's nothing and I'm wrong I loose nothing, but if I live my life and there is something, theres heaven, all the atheist, agnostics and unbelievers loose everything. I believe that's how it went. Nevertheless, I believe In God, I believe he sent his son to die in my place and take my punishment, so that I can live debt free. Jesus died for us, so we could live. That's hard to wrap my mind around, that jesus loved us so much that he took on sin so we did have to be punished. He could have easily said "No, I don't want to die for these wicked people father." But he didn't, he was man and God, he was humble, wise and scary all at the same time. He asked God if there was any other way to save us, without having to die, but he knew there wasn't. He willingly sacrificed his life for you and me. That's so crazy. How many of us would give our life's to save those we love, those we don't know? I know I would take a bullet for my family, you children and my husband, and my parents, siblings, and my in-laws. In a world that is so self driven, it's a struggle to but God first. Thankfully he's a merciful, and forgiving God, he shows me grace when I forget to read and spend time with him. I am not perfect nor am I claiming to be. My weaknesses and flaws show. I know one of my biggest flaws is I lack tact, I have no filter, and sometimes I spew word vomit. I say things when they pop into my head with out thinking about what it is I'm about to say. It's gotten me in trouble, I've made things awkward and made things great. But sometimes it's a good thing and sometimes it's a bad thing it just depends on the situation.  Anyhow it's really humbling to think about how God, pieced us together in our mothers wombs, he thought about what strengths and weaknesses and flaws and beauties to give us before we were made. He created us in his image, and we are his children. I am thankful for the way God made me, I have my quirks and I have my mess. But I wouldnt ask him to make me any different. I'm proud of who I've grown to be. I'm still growing still changing and I know as long as I pursue him, and have faith that he has me nothing is unattainable. How can you thank God today for the amazing ways he created you?
We have to remember to thank God for the unique ways he created us, and remember to love ourselves. Because we are all fearfully and wonderfully made!!
Psalms 139
GOD BLESS!
