You Are Beautiful

Genesis 4:10
The LORD said, "What have you done? Listen! Your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground.New International Version (©1984)

Luke 12:7
And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.New Living Translation (©2007)


"Mercy Me" has a lovely new song out called "You are Beautiful". God the creator truly knows every blood cell and atom he made. Surely he knows if we, his creation, misplace or misuse our cells. Genesis says that Able's blood cries from the earth. I don't know for sure, but I would think that God knows where we each have had spilled blood. He knows every hair as well.

I compare this to a missing items in my home. Like the missing screw in a chair or when the little rubber stops fall off of brand new cupboard doors. We, the owners of our house hold items, are aware when parts of our equipment disappear, break off or fall out. So wouldn't God be aware when part of our human bodies break down or in the case of spilled blood cells. Of course, our maker knows each part of us. Even the parts of us that are too small for us to recognize. Such as our DNA strands.

Have you even had a negative thought about your creation. Like when God created you he left out something, or didn't give you enough memory capacity, perhaps he didn't make you attractive enough. Perhaps you were born with out all your fingers, an arm or have an learning disability. God doesn't make mistakes. He doesn't have a bunch of jars up in heaven that he reaches into in some given order to make his people. He didn't forget to give anyone anything.

Dear Lord,

I pray that you'll grant us contentment with ourselves. That we will understand that you love us the way you made us. That we are to learn to lean on you when we feel life isn't fair and you will give us peace. Please Lord be close to those who have less than the average person. Be especially loving to those who have lost or broken down bodies. Apply your love to all who hurt, for if we call out to you. You will come. Guide the hearts of people to call out to you so they may feel your love. Amen

An artist gets to choose his design composition. God is the artist and he has choosen to make each of us they way we are. Since he created our DNA. He is aware of all the blessed extras he gave each of us, even though we may not recognize those gifts. He may have given us more compassion then others. He may give us more understanding of certain words in his Bible than others. I could go on forever and not even get close to all the ways God makes his people individuals.
