We are God's Workmanship

This is me, two weekends ago, after spending two days in a hotel room writing, eating, sleeping, eating some more and talking with a girlfriend.

She writes, too.

If you haven't noticed, I'm standing by the beach..

on a bunch of rocks.

Look at the rocks I am standing on.

Here is a close up.

I am continually AMAZED at the intricacies of our world.

(which is why I just had to take a picture...)

Imagine that some people actually believe that this was all just a product of a

"BIG BOOM".

Seriously?

Now lOOk at this...

I am continually AWED at God's creativity...

LOOK at the uniqueness of each rock...

LOOK!

I could not help but think...I am one of those rocks, and guess what?

SO ARE YOU?

Which one are you?

Each rock is uniquely made, created, by GOD.

We are uniquely made, created by GOD.

(if I could be one of those rocks, I'd be the white/pinkish one)

Each of us have our own special "ingredients" that make us and shape who we are.

The bible says:

¹⁴ I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

your works are wonderful,

I know that full well.

Psalm 139:14

There was a time that I didn't like who God made me.

I wanted long, lean legs,and a different body, but I am thankful now for my strong, healthy legs and body.

My legs do what they are supposed to (and more) and I am blessed w/a healthy body.

There was a time I didn't like that I was Japanese.

I wish I had blonde hair and blue eyes like everyone I saw on TV, but I am thankful for my heritage and background. I love my big hair and can see just fine.

There was a time that I thought I wasn't much.

I was afraid to be myself, to say how I really felt and afraid to do what I really wanted to do.

I am so thankful that I met the LORD...

HE showed me that I am special.....so are you.

HE showed me that I am beautiful....so are you.

HE showed me that I am loved....so are you.

HE showed me that HE has a purpose and a plan for me....

and HE has one for you.

¹⁰For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.

Ephesians 2:10

We all need reminders of how special, beautiful and loved we are,

and that each one of us

has a special job or purpose on this earth to fulfill.

On this Valentine's Day remember:

God LOVES YOU SO MUCH!

GOD so loved the world , that HE gave HIS only begotten son,

that whosoever BELIEVES in HIM shall not perish,

but have ETERNAL LIFE!

John 3:16
