I wanted to share another of my devotions out of "Daily Steps for GodChicks" by Holly Wagner. This one really touched me and I feel like there are many other people, though it's directed at women, this does not only apply to women!
'"And I praise You because of the wonderful way You created me. Everything Yu do is marvelous! Of this I have no doubt. With Your own eyes You saw my body being formed. Even before I was born, You had written in Your book everything I would do." Psalm 139:14, CEV
I love this verse. Can't you just see King David looking in the mirror and thanking God for the magnificent way he was made? While I do smile when I read it, it is a powerful truth. If more of us had a clear picture of how wonderfully we were made, then perhaps we would spend less time trying to be someone else.
There is only on you. You are an absolute... one of a kind... unique creation of God Himself. No one else can do what He has called you to do. I wonder if we aren't slapping Him in the face when we desire to be anyone other than outselves. You are giving your best when you are being YOU - not what you THINK people what you to be - but who you actually ARE.
You have got to get good at looking in the mirror and liking the girl you see. You are wonderfully made... never forget that! When God made you, He threw out the mold. He does not make mistakes. You are one of a kind, precious and priceless. Your worth is beyond compare.
So head on over to the mirror right now, look at your wonderfully unique face, and say, "Wow... thank You, God, for making me just the way You did!!" And if you are really feeling brave (or even if you're not!) give yourself a little whistle... go ahead!! "
