I’m Loved – December 27, 2018
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations. Jeremiah 1:5
Of all of God’s creations – mountains are some of my favourites. Whenever I get a glimpse of a mountain I’m always filled with a sense of awe about God’s amazing creative powers. However, recently I’ve started to be awed about another of God’s creations – People! As I journey to and from work each day I encounter a lot of people. There are whites, blacks, East Indians, Natives, Chinese (Asians) and the list goes on. Yet it’s not their nationality or ethnic backgrounds or even their languages that I marvel about. What I marvel at are the different faces God chose to put on each one of us. No two faces are exactly alike and each time I see a new face I can’t help but wonder about the God who created each one. I imagine how happy He is as he decides which nose to put on this or that one, the texture hair, the colour of the eyes, the shape of the lips, the size of the ears.
I think about His creative powers and it dawned on me that with Him taking so much time on the details He must love the outcome.
I know that when I, with my limited, sin-stained creativity, create something I’m rather fond of the outcome and proud of it too.
So, I believe that my God loves and is very proud of me and you. Yes – I do feel loved
