Psalms 139:14 “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.”
Hi friends,
Hope you are doing well. The other day I was listening to some
kids songs and stumbled across one which has always been a favorite of mine
right through my childhood. It’s a well-known song called ‘If I were a
butterfly’, which tells us about how God has made each human, animal, bird or
insect specially and if God wanted us in another form, he would have made us
like that but since he made us in a particular way, He expects us to be just
that in the best way we can. He never condemns us or looks
at us with disdain for our goof ups! Our Lord knows us so well and
actually enjoys each of us coming to Him in the most authentic and sincere way
we can, just as we are without any mask or formality. After all, He chose for
us to be made that way. Our Father is such a creative genius. He has created
all of us down to the last detail in such an extraordinary way.
Even
each of our thumbprints is one of a kind. When we pause and
think about the time that the Lord took in putting every detail of us into our
DNA, we can just sit back and wonder at the intricate details that our Lord
Almighty goes into. Even things we don’t know about ourselves, is well known to
Him bcoz after all He is the Master Craftsman. I am awestruck when I take in
the love of the Father in putting each one of us together The effort it takes to be an original in
this world of clones is sometimes more than we can realize.
In our journey of life, all of us
have had to encounter Rejection at some point or other. Then what makes the difference
is in our responses. The Father loved us so much He gave us His only begotten Son
to die for us and Jesus loved us so much that He willingly gave up His all for
us and The Blessed Holy Spirit loves us so much that He actually lives in us as
our Constant Companion, Best Friend, Wisest Adviser, all rolled into one. When
we really understand this and we realize how much we are actually loved by our
Heavenly Father we will quit unnecessarily worrying about how many reject us or the reason
why they do .We will also be careful not to reject ourselves or anyone else for
that matter. For when we do that, we in effect tell the Lord that we don’t like
what His hand has fashioned and how could the pot ever question the Potter? In
fact we realize that we are all integral parts of His Master plan just like
there are many pieces in a Jigsaw puzzle and each piece is important in order
to complete it similarly for the Father’s will to be fulfilled , each of us has
to do our individual parts. This awareness that we are part of a bigger picture makes
us more secure in His unconditional & unchangeable Love for us and fills us with appreciation for all He puts in our lives and we realize that there is a purpose for all that happens in our life. Much of which we will fully understand only later.But for now , we can trust our Good Father who can flip around any situation for our good! Rom 8:28
