HE LOVES YOU JUST THE WAY YOU ARE
HE LOVES YOU JUST THE WAY YOU ARE
The Rock Teaching Ministry
Read: Psalm 139:1-24
Meditation verse:
“I will praise You; I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvellous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well” (Psalm 139:14).
Do any of the above statements sound like you? If truth be told, we are all guilty of whining over one issue or the other and wishing we were the opposite of some of the traits we manifest. At some point in my life, I had wished `I was a more adventurous person, so that I could do all the seemingly exciting things I saw some people do, but which I didn’t seem to have the natural inclination for. Then one morning I heard the following words in my spirit “has it ever occurred to you that you are exactly who God wants you to be so that you can accomplish the assignment He wants you to? That was such a life transforming moment for me.
Psalm 139:14 says you are fearfully and wonderfully made. You are God’s creation, and all His creation are marvellous. Jeremiah 1:5 says before God formed you in your mother’s womb, He knew you and decided what He was creating you for. You are factory fitted, shaped, and graced for your assignment. If the Master and great Potter wanted you any different, don’t you think he would have created you differently?
This is in no way intended to discourage you from pursuing self-improvement. Working on your weakness and striving to become a better version of yourself is laudable. But remember that whether you introverted or extroverted, boring, or exciting, outgoing or an indoor person, fat or thin, you are complete in Him. Connect the dots between who you are and what you have been created to do and live the abundant life that Jesus Christ purchased for you on the cross. Just be yourself, everyone else is taken.
IN HIS PRESENCE is written by Oke Chinye.
Have you asked Jesus Christ to come into your heart?
He says in Mathew 11:28, “come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” He longs to give you rest."
Would you like to do so now? Here’s a prayer you can say:
Dear Jesus, I believe that You died to save me from all my sins. Today, I invite you into my heart and I accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Please forgive all my sins and help me to live my life for You.
If you prayed this prayer, send me an email at rockteachingministry@gmail.com
I would love to pray with you personally and send you a copy of my book; ‘Living the Life’ to encourage you as you begin your new life in Christ.
