Do you ever feel like you aren't special because there might be something wrong with you? Maybe you're short and don't feel like you are special because you are too short. Or maybe you are tall and feel like a freak? (I don't feel like a freak by the way) You might have a lazy eye, or wear glasses that you don't like, you might have bad ache, you might be in a wheel chair. Who knows. Those are just some of the things I thought of.
This world has a tendency to make you feel like you are't special if you are not perfect. No matter what anybody says, it's easy to feel like you don't have it all together based on everyone else around you. We have unlimited wants and needs. We always want more. You might be perfect in the eyes of others, but not yourself, you still want more. More. More. More.
This post isn't about needs and wants. It's about God's work being displayed in you. No matter who you are, or where you come from!
This scripture I read last night really got me thinking about this.
This was the story of how Jesus healed a man born blind.
"As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. And his disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" Jesus answered, "It was not that this man sinned, or his parents but that the works of God might be displayed in him."
( John 9:1-3 )
The man was not born blind because of a sin he committed or a sin that his parents committed. This man was born blind so that the works of God might be displayed in him. I hope that verse hits you really hard so that you understand that you were created so that the works of God might be displayed through you.
No matter who you are, what your circumstances are, what you look like, what your hair looks like, how tall you are, how pretty you are, what you wear, etc. YOU WERE CREATED SO THAT THE WORKS OF GOD MIGHT BE DISPLAYED IN YOU.
You are special and most importantly you are loved. Never doubt yourselves based on your situation. You are enough for God and He created you in his perfect image so that His works might be displayed. You are SO special.
When you begin to understand how important you are, and who much worth you have, you begin to change your perspective. Once your perceptive changes, your personal happiness on a daily basis will change, and lastly, your life will change.
You are loved and you are special. God's works are displayed in every single part of you.
