Dear God,
Today I had the pleasure of being present with my family. With our daughters, that you allowed me to birth. We played and went for a walk, lake side. I have always been in awe with everything that surrounds me. In awe of everything YOU made and everything that is. Almost every time I get the opportunity to relish everything nature has to offer to EVERY SINGLE one of my sense... being taken away from myself. From my day to day 'problems' I can't help but be reminded of two things: God is AMAZING, and my problems aren't that big a deal on a worldly/Godly scale.
I understand and acknowledge that my problems matter. Not at all to minimize them. Although when I really think about it... because of whatever scenario going on in my life doesn't keep the sun from rising. It doesn't keep God from healing someone from a chronic illness. It doesn't stop the grass from being green (unless of course, I stop watering my grass) but my neighbors' grass will still be GREEN! Going back to my problems, they aren't greater than You, My Lord and for that I am grateful.
In Psalm 139:14 David wrote " I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well." Reading this verse today, while i read a book I've been enjoying lately. Then I remembered a good friend of mine shared this verus with me and she said " I don't know why that verse but it just came to me."
I recognize the pattern, and I decide to read it and study on it until I understand what it really means.
With me having been on that lovely stroll this evening, enjoying the gorgeous scenery. Pondering on my perspective on everything big, small, meaningless or otherwise. Feeling blown away by Your creation, the earth My Lord! I come home to this verse!!
I am fearfully and wonderfully made... I can't help but to think if i think the earth is amazing, imagine what God thinks of ME!!! I find myself not being as appreciative of my human body, my vessel as I now realize I should be. Of course you know better than anyone My Lord how thankful I am for my health, for my abilities that others might not have. What i'm talking about is my cells, my anatomy !!!
God you are so many beautiful words... there isn't ONE word to say what you are other than YOU ARE GOD!!!!! YOU ARE MY GOD, and you love me! You love the world and at the surface anyone can say that and of course see that -- but beyond that. Beyond the superficial surface of your love... not that anything about your love is superficial in ANY way!!! It's just that I believe a lot of people, believers, myself included get caught up in the " Thank you God for another day, thank you for my health, thank you for the roof over my head" but beyond THAT. We should say and be thankful for the fact that you designed us and our anatomy before we were even born! You made us so that when a fingernail or a toenail fell it would grow right back !! You made us so that our body could fight off infections, so that our body could heal certain wounds!!
Again I'll mention, you created this world, this universe and it is so Godly. Anyone would look at that and be blown away, but you didn't just stop at that. You made us, and beyond that you made our anatomy! Beyond that... you made each of us different than the person next to us, even different than the twin they were born with!!!
My Lord,
Thank you for being YOU! Thank you for allowing me to understand what David was saying in Psalm 139:14!!!
I Love You My LORD!!
YOU ARE THE LORD OF MY LIFE!
May we all see and appreciate your creation in the way it deserves to be!
Keep us in your loving hands!
In Jesus name,
Amen!!
