The age old battle in the mirror has left so many seeking the wrong acceptance. Who do you see when you look into the mirror? Do you see fault and a need to change what is staring back at you or do you see someone made in the perfect image of God. How we see ourselves has a direct link to where our identity lies.
Paul writes that the created thing cannot say to the creator why did he make it like that. We so like to question God and when it comes to imperfections we supposedly see, we listen to the enemy and we eat the apple. My dear friend, a worldly mentally will always leave a void that is impossible to fill. It is like a bottomless well, the more you put in the deeper it goes. You will never fill it because there will always be something else.
When we accept Jesus He fills that void with His unlimited presence in our lives. Now our identity shifts from a bottomless pit to the glory of a living God. Our perspective changed and so our desires. We stop the need to please a world and seek to please and glorify God. Now we see through the eyes of a perfect God who makes perfect creations. Thus we see ourselves as His children and no more orphans of a broken world.
My friend you are wonderfully and fearfully made meaning you are created with awe-inspiring care, uniqueness, and intentionality. It suggests that "fearfully" implies a sense of reverence and respect for God's powerful creation, while "wonderfully" points to your unique and distinct design, which is set apart.
Have an awesome day.
