Am I special?

Genesis 1: ²⁷ So God created mankind in his own image,
    in the image of God he created them;
    male and female he created them.

³¹ God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.

Sitting on the bus I noticed some girls staring in my direction. As I observed a little closer I noticed they were looking past me staring at my friend. “Why didn’t I have a pretty face?” Then I started noticing other people doing better in other things. Why are they better or stronger or smarter? I didn’t feel like I was made in GOD’s image.

• When I see myself as a mess I’m not seeing how GOD made me.
• When I see myself as a problem I’m not seeing how GOD made me.
• When I see myself as useless I’m not seeing how GOD made me.

I have complained to GOD in the past.  “Why did you make me this way?” as if I had a better idea of how HE should have made me. It basically boils down to me trying to get my way and then I complain that GOD made me wrong because I’m not getting my way.

• GOD made me the way I am and HE said it was very good.
• GOD made me with a purpose and that purpose was good.
• GOD made me and knows my flaws so HE rescued me through HIS SON.

 

I guess I’m a little hard on myself. If GOD thinks I’m very good the way HE made me, who am I to argue?

• Are you feeling a little low?
• Do you think you don’t have a purpose?
• Can you stop looking at yourself through sinful eyes and see how GOD wants you to be seen?
• Won’t you recognize that GOD made you special and with a purpose?
