Let us make a joyful noise to the Lord. If you cannot sing, then you can just wave your hands, and let the world know that God has been good to you. Let everything that has breathe praise the Lord! So if you are able to read these words then you are more than capable of giving Him praise. If you can see this message then you have been blessed with the ability to see and comprehend, and that is enough to give God the praise. Don’t take the small things for granted. Be grateful and lift up your praise to God today!
Good day to you all! Stay in prayer! Our daily conversations with God are important! Pray for someone that you don’t know very well because the compassion that we show towards a stranger is the compassion that God will show towards us!
For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them Psalm 139:13-16
Sometimes it is easier to be critical of ourselves than to see the beauty that is there. There are so many people who like to tell us what beauty is that we often can’t see the beauty that sits right in front of us. There are so many priceless portraits in the world, and we miss the one that hangs in our bathroom. That’s right, the mirror transforms into a priceless masterpiece whenever you step in front of it. God created the world with His words, but He crafted you with His hands. I tell you this because there is no way that you can value others, if you don’t see the value in yourself. There is no way that you can understand where I am going if you have not started your own journey. I find it amazing that babies are born all day, every day and each and every one of them is uniquely branded with God’s love. You are also uniquely branded and there is no flaw in your design.
Dear Reader I want to encourage you to love the skin you are in. I want to encourage you, on this day, to appreciate every part of who you are. There may things that you want to improve on, but never let anyway cast shade on what God has made to be light. Don’t let anyone tell you that you are less than the perfect specimen made exclusively by the Master’s hand. There may be others that want to be like you, but that’s just because behind closed doors they like you. I tell you Dear Reader there is no smile quite like your smile. There is no voice quite like your voce. There is no beauty quite like yours. You should love the skin that you are in because the skin that you are in holds that spirit that God has made. Dear Reader, don’t let nobody bring you down. I live by a quote that I heard from Shaquille O’Neil. He said, “If you don’t like me, then there is something wrong with you”. Dear Reader when you have God in your heart, and you know that you are walking in the spirit, there are people who are not going to like you. However, I want to encourage you not to change a thing! If they don’t like you, then there is something wrong with them. Dear Reader, you are God’s best creation. Smile because you are who you are. Don’t let anyone try to change you. Love the skin you are in.
You are beautiful, loved, and blessed
John Reed
