When I consider thy
heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast
ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that
thou visitest him? (Psalm 8:3-4)
What is man, that you are mindful of him? Who am I that the
Lord will give His life for me? What have I done that I am blessed with another
day? Why am I given all the blessings I have and all the love I receive? Why am
I so important to such an amazing and powerful God?
I think when we start to look at God in perspective and who
He is and who we are then we tend to have a different picture. Our worldly nature
is quick to boost our arrogance and our self-esteem. The world is all about titles
and positions and who we are and where we stay and what we have. Our material
needs far exceed our heavenly needs. It is as if people are blind to the truth
but open to the lies. Have you ever noticed that people will rather believe a
lie about you than the truth.
I have seen it the last few months how God can heal a broken
heart multiple times. I think my heart did not just broke the last week, it was
shattered. But the very God who created it all is the God that holds us and my
little boys in His hands. He is the one that is mindful of us. Mindful means to
be attentive; regarding with care; bearing in mind; heedful; observant.
So, who am I that God is mindful of me? I am a lost and broken
vessel marked with the scars of many storms, heartache and pain. I a sinner who
turned away from my God and followed the wrong path. I am lair and deceiver. I am
arrogant and selfish. I am that person no more. A few years ago, I turned my
life around and I turned back to my God. My life slowly changed, and I grew
with every day as God prepared me for the greatest test ever in my life. I am
stronger and I am gradually growing more with every day. I am not alone, and I am
holding on to my God with everything in me.
God is mindful of me, because I am His child and He knows my
heart. He knows me completely and He still loves me despite my faults. The amazing
thing is that He send someone that loves me also despite my mistakes and my
faults. Someone that actually sees me for who I am. Someone that prays with me
and fights with me. Someone that makes me laugh again.
So, who am I? I am a son of God and victor in life. I am a light
to my world, and I am a mirror image of God and His grace. When I consider the
heavens and the work of His hands, I am motivated and encouraged. I am
fearless, because I know the God who created it all. I know His love and I know
His grace. I am more, because He changed me and renewed the old me and created a
better and stronger me that lives for His glory. Have an awesome day.
I love you, my friend in Jesus.
