Hellooooooooo NEW YORK CITYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Okay sorry for that random outburst but alot of perfomers say that and it suddenly came to mind:)
Spare my short post cos my head really hurts from studying history so here goes:)
Basically say 4 is an extension of day 3 where it talks about how each and everyone of us is fearfully and wonderfully made in God's eyes and therefore our value/ personal identity does not lie in our friends' comments on our dressing or our parents' satisfaction with the grades we get.
Instead, the devotional material today reiterates the fact that God had created us with a divine purpose and we are "sent" to fulfill his will on Earth. Believe it or not, God already has your life story written out for you and you are defintely not an accident!
Self-identity can get really really complex as we get older; am I a broody emo punk or potential presidential candidate material? and with all the hormones raging sometimes things get outta hand...both emotionally and the pimple outbreaks!
But, it is important for Christians to realise that our entire being is created by God, belongs to God and therefore valued by God. Hence, by right, we should only care about what He says about us. Remember, no one has the power to judge you except for God.
Characteristics that you possess are God-given and even though they might not be perfect or Miss/Mr Universe worthy, God's work in your life will show through the changes and improvements in your flaws and weaknesses. For when you are weak, He is strong. Also, God finds strength in the weakest places! Don't ever think that just because you cannot do 10 pull ups you cannot be a soldier of God!:)
Reflection Qns:
1)I think i am too impatient, intolerant and critical amongst my many other flaws. Oh ya and the noisy part as well. But but I think I am slowly getting better at improving my temper.. God always seems to put even more difficult/annoying/frustrating situations and people in my life the more I pray for patience and tolerance. Sometimes it gets really annoying but it's quite funny if you think about it in a sadistic way!lol but it's good to learn through practice!
2)I talk alot and am very noisy so i guess i contribute to discussions, whether or not my input is called for or necessary lol. Also, my critical, intolerant and impatient nature sometimes work for the good when I need to get school projects done really quickly/when group mates aren't helping etc.
Okay!Off to hit my head on some pillows!
Keep the groovin' in your movin'!
You know He loves you,
XOXO
