When God Speaks

People constantly critic themselves, always wishing they had more of this or less of that. I must admit I do the same, but, and this is a big ‘but’, I am going to stop doing that. I realize that God created me with everything I am. So, for me to complain is like spitting in His face.

When I was younger I would constantly critic myself. Nothing much about myself did I like. Someone was always prettier, smarter, more outgoing, wore better clothes, drove a better car, had a better job or husband or everything. You get the picture. I literally hated myself at times. What I have come to know as I’ve gotten older is most of the things I hated were things I could change. Like weight, clothes, jobs, even the way I looked or my intelligence could be changed somewhat by taking time to study for intelligence or the time to figure out what my strengths were in the looks department and enhance those features.

God made no mistake with what he created. He called it ‘very good’. For me to moan and groan about being made in God’s image is blasphemous. That is what we are, made in His image. Perfect. All of us. You and I. Perfect.

When you realize that God created perfection, you begin to walk a little different. Some call it a swag. You begin to talk a little different. Some call it arrogance, but it isn’t. You begin to look different. Even others say so. Why? When you are content with the way God made you it shows. Your countenance is better. So much that it affects the way you look. The way you are. And everyone takes notice.

So, when asked one thing I would change about myself if I could, the answer is a firm ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Let that be your answer as well. God makes no mistakes. You are perfect.
