Satisfied with Yourself

It's seems we live in a day when many are not satisfied with themselves. Their hair is not the right color so they dye it. They are too tall or too small, their teeth are not white enough, their job is not what they want and on and on we could go. But stop for a minute and read this verse with me Psa 139:14
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; (I have been so amazingly and miraculously made). and that my soul knoweth right well. The very first word out of the mouth of the Psalmist is praise he is praising God because he is different and was made that way. We can't do much to change the way God made us but we can change our reactions about how we feel. You may never have heard of the name Tom Sullivan; no he wasn't related to Ed. But he was a world class athlete with two national championship records in wrestling. He was on the 1958 Olympic wrestling team. He earned a degree at Harvard in clinical psychology. He's an author. He's a sports enthusiast. He runs six miles every day. He swims. He even skydives and has 37 jumps to his credit and all this is good and even great but the best part is that Tom is blind. Amazing man! So you have a disadvantage well take advantage of it for you were made that way by God. Who wants to be like everyone else anyways? This is what sets you apart and makes you distinct and different. I am afraid we beat ourselves up with discouragement and self pity instead of looking at things differently. I want you to remember two things #1- We are in God's School
Job 36:22
God does great things by his power. Is there any teacher like him? In God's school we learn through the heart instead of the head, and by faith rather than by logic. #2- We have been bought with a price 1Corinthians 6:20
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
1Corinthians 7:23 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men. Why do you want to be just like everybody else? Be all that God made you be, what He wants you to be. Look to Him for leadership because He made you and He bought you so therefore He knows what is best for you so quit trying to be something or someone you're not! Praise Him and thank Him for His great creation; you!
