Each person is a unique expression of God’s loving design.
Read Psalm 139:1-16
When I was a child, someone close to me thought they could motivate me to do better by frequently asking me, “Why are you so stupid?” I didn’t know how much this had affected me until I was a teenager and heard someone behind me say, “Stupid!” At the word, I quickly turned around, thinking he was talking to me.
Knowing Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord helped me to realise that because God created me in His image
(Genesis 1:27), I’m not stupid but am “fearfully and wonderfully made” (vs 14). God declared that all He made is “very good” (Genesis 1:31), and the Psalms remind us that we are “skilfully wrought” (vs 15).
The psalmist David describes how God knows each of us intimately: “O Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways.” (vs 1-3).
Not only are we wonderfully made, but because of Christ’s death on the cross, we can also be wonderfully restored to a right relationship with God. “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation … All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ.” (2 Corinthians 5:17-18)
Prayer:
¥ Pray that each and every single person in your congregation would have opportunity to share the love of Christ Jesus with non believers in their world. Pray that each believer would be strong and courageous and make the most of every opportunity.
¥ Pray that your church would grow as more people are converted to Christ Jesus through faith in Him. Pray that we would be rejoicing as people find eternal life in Christ.
