YOU are glorious!

My new favorite song, Everything Glorious, by the David Crowder band - is a wonderful reminder that WE ARE GLORIOUS! Here's a sample of the lyrics:

My eyes are small but they have seen
the beauty of enormous things
Which leads me to believe
there's light enough to see that

(chorus)
You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
And I am Yours
What does that make me?

It seems silly (and some people may not relate) but not everyone realizes that GOD created us just like He did the grass and the flowers, the sunset and the sea. We marvel at His creation daily but we look in the mirror and curse what we see. HE made us too! We are His creation :) I have struggled with my self-image — how I look, what do people see, will they like me . . . Thankfully, through God's grace and my own growth and maturity — I see who He created and am at peace with who I am. HIS!! Yea :) It takes time and TRUST and wisdom and more trust (and PATIENCE) and prayer and trust (that again!) that God is working out His plan for you and through you.

There's an old saying: Be patient, God's not finished with me yet!

My son learned this scripture at 3 yrs. old and it's a wonderful reminder of God's gloriousness (yes, that is a word!):

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
— Psalm 139: 14
