I am Unique

I will offer You my grateful heart, for I am Your unique creation, filled with wonder and awe.
    You have approached even the smallest details with excellence;
    Your works are wonderful;
I carry this knowledge deep within my soul.
Psalm 139:14

In my previous post I wrote about how I felt I wasn’t good at anything when I were younger. A lot of how I felt about myself was due to the bullying I experienced throughout my school life. As a result of this, growing up I felt like the odd one out. I didn’t fit in.

Satan loves to use these negative feelings I have about myself in order for me to forget how wonderfully unique I am. After all, if I am beating myself up, I’m not working for God’s kingdom. Satan loves that and will exploit it whenever he can using whatever and whoever.

In order for me to overcome these thoughts and feelings, I need to stand strong on what God says about me. I need to believe what the Psalmist says: I am fearfully and wonderfully made. It’s not easy trying to change my thinking, but I am a work in progress.

Something to think about…

Why not have a go at personalising Psalm 139:14 and re-write in your own words what you feel God is saying to you. You could also use my version and change to your own name.

Lynne, I want you to know deep within your heart that I created you so uniquely. You are wonderfully made. Even the parts you don’t feel good about. Let this truth sink deep inside you.

Something to listen to…
