Anyway, it was an amazing feeling to be back with my church family. My pastor, Pastor Baker, sermon was on point (as usual)! & I realized how much I need to be in church on Sundays.
Well after I got home from church and put my son down for a nap the sermon was still in my head. He preached about something one of my best friends has been blogging about this past month, people bondage. I love this topic because I feel like we all fall victim to people bondage. So, I pulled out my study bible and dug deeper into the passages that he preached on (Genesis 1:26-31).
And long behold, my study bible just reinforced the things my pastor was saying, and things that I need hear.
Genesis 1:31 "Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good"
This verse especially has stuck out with me today. Sometimes, I have those days where I think to myself thoughts like "if only I didn't have this flaw" or "if I could only do this" BUT when God made me he thought "I was very good" ! God makes no mistakes. He made me exactly how he wanted me, and I have a purpose!
Oh how good is God! My worth is not based off of my achievements, my possessions, my physical attractiveness, etc. Criticizing myself is downgrading what God has made!!
I am God's creation, and he is SO pleased with how he made me
-for he looked at me and thought I was VERY good.
He looked at us all and thought that we were very good. We have purpose and our maker is pleased with us! Why in the world would we be so caught up with people pleasing and people bondage when our God is already pleased with us?! All he asks of us is to act in a way that reflects him- reflects his love, patience, forgiveness, kindness, and faithfulness!!
This is why I cannot work Sunday's y'all! I needed this!
Anyway, I just felt like I had to share this message that I received today. Hope someone reads this and realizes just how GOOD they are!
Goodnight.
