GREETINGS SISTAHS!

How do see yourself? Who determines your value? Psalms 139 assures each of us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. The Basic Bible English version states that we are strangely and delicately formed by God himself. God doesn’t make mistakes; He made you and I the way we are for a particular reason. Every morning when you get out of bed, remind yourself, “you are valuable, you are important! You are handpicked by God, and God’s own special treasure. Every one of us, without a face lift, weight loss, or an extreme makeover, are created in the image of Almighty God!”

Every year brings it a desire to recreate ourselves. We make New Year’s Resolution, set new goals, all in an effort to recreate ourselves. Lofty goals and aspirations are admirable. Some maybe profitable and wholesome. Psalms 139 encourages us to accept and appreciate the work of our Creator God, and to celebrate His handiwork. Many people become frustrated with constant feelings of dissatisfaction. They want to be thinner, or heavier, or taller or shorter, lighter or darker. They seem to never be satisfied with who they are. Yet we have been fearfully and wonderfully made, without mistakes or blemishes. We are result of a perfect creator God, capable to pleasing Him, glorifying Him and blessing the world. If I need to be more, God would have made me more. I have everything I need to fulfill my God-given assignment. And so do you. This same spirit of dissatisfaction was the tool Satan used against Eve in the garden. Satan made Eve feel like she wasn’t enough and that she needed something else. Eve lived in a perfect environment, the most beautiful, the wisest, the richest, the most ideal creature ever created, yet Satan, “you are missing out on something.” That is the same message he uses today. If only you had… If only you were…. What you really need is…! Psalms 139 gives a more perfect view for 2022.

Go forth SISTAHS, be empowered, be informed and be inspired!
