I know you sometimes feel ordinary but you’re not.
You are one of a kind ~ a unique and beautiful blend of all God wants you to be.
You are God’s prized possession, a valued treasure of great worth.
You may feel invisible…like you are just one of millions of others.
But God sees you.
And when God sees you, He sees someone He loves.
In Isaiah 43:4, God says, “You are precious and honored in my sight …. and I love you.”
He sees someone He knows.
David said in Psalm 139:1, “You have searched me, LORD, and you know me.” God knows you, too.
Since God knows you, has a purpose for you and loves you just the way He made you, I have no doubt He wants you to feel the same way.
He’ll do whatever it takes to help you get to a place of accepting and embracing your His heart for you so you can become the woman HE created you to be!
Here is the song I feel like God chose for you this week. I hope you’ll take a few minutes to watch, listen and let Him tell you just how beautiful you are! {If you are reading this via email, click here to watch it since it’s not viewable thru email.}
You really are…
Beautiful
Loved
Cherished
Chosen
Treasured
Sacred
You are His!
May God’s sweet affirmations replace all those comparisons. As you identify, understand and embrace who HE created you to be, I’m praying that, like the psalmist, you’re learning to say with confidence, “Lord, You created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb, I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well” (Ps. 139:13-14)

A few years ago, one of our local residents,
Mac Vorce, who is also a bicycle enthusiast petitioned for the development of bicycle
paths and trails. his comic roles in movies like Hungama, Waqt:
The Race against Time, Malamaal. These surgeries are a matter of personal preference,
peer pressure from fellow entertainers and the need to maintain an
unrealistic image that is associated with them.
Wow! I love, love, love this song and video. Thank you for sharing!!
My favorite part:
“Of all the earth and skies above
You’re the one He madly loves
Enough to die…”
Questions 3 & 4 helped me to spend some time thinking about my desires and dreams and my abilities. Like many people, I am not very good at identifying and talking about my strengths. And like some others said in comments earlier this week, I don’t ever feel like I have the time to just stop and think about my dreams, about my desires and the longings of my heart. I am committing to spending more time exploring these things and also talking them over with my husband and others who can help me identify things I may not be able to see.
Question 5 – The servant viewed his master as not worthy of his time and energy. Yes, at times I have felt like why does got not trust me with other gifts. I have the gift of serving and yet at times I feel that I am tired of serving and don’t give it my all. When I have pulled out of serving, I felt lost. Then God showed me there are many different ways to serve. He is preparing me for greater things.
Question 1: In what areas do you tend to compare yourself with others and feel like you don’t measure up? What did you read in this chapter that can help you break free from the comparison trap? In my health situations, in being the perfect daughter, wife and mom. Many times I feel everyone else has it so easy! But do they or does it seem that way?! The only way I can break free from the comparison trap is to embrace the reason I am who I am. I am God’s masterpiece! He has created me anew in Christ Jesus, so I can do the good things He planned for me long ago. (Eph. 2:10). I do the thing the way I do because it is part of my unique God-shaped purpose.
I truly love that song. And I think that it is important to remember that God always loves us even when we feel unlovable and His love is unconditional. We really are beautiful to Him! Thanks for sharing this!
