You are one-of-a-kind. I never get tired of making new things. I never just throw things together. Everything I make is beautiful to Me. Some of the things I make are more beautiful on the outside and some I make more beautiful on the inside. I do not love you more or less if I choose to make you this way. It is because I like surprises. Don't you?
For when someone gets to know you, they find that you are a treasure chest filled with amazing jewels and nuggets that have been collected by spending time in My presence. They are left with a sense of awe and wonder at who I am. They are encouraged that I love them, too. They see that I am not a respecter of persons, nor am I shallow like so many that judge a book by its cover. I am known in the deep places, hence deep calls to deep.
Therefore, do not judge yourself, nor people who seem more comely than others. For many of those are the ones who I have hidden great secrets and mysteries in, only to be discovered by those who can see past what is on the outside. My Son understood this as He was overlooked as well.
Yes, you are created the way you are by design. You are no accident and you are beautiful in My sight. You sparkle and shine with the light and glory that you carry, a glory that will be released through being yielded and obedient. Walk in humility and enjoy who I have created you to be.
Look at others the way I do and you will discover many wonderful things about them and about Me. You are all part of My body, and as you connect with others, you will discover more and more of who you are, releasing your destiny and activating many others into theirs. It is all part of My wonderful plan...a chain reaction, if you will.
So be bold and courageous in these days. Although Gideon felt lowly and ashamed, I raised him up to his true identity and destiny. Let it be the same for you, My child. Rise up with a shout, "A sword for the Lord and a sword for me.”
1 Corinthians 12:25-26 The Message (MSG)
25-26 The way God designed our bodies is a model for understanding our lives together as a church: every part dependent on every other part, the parts we mention and the parts we don’t, the parts we see and the parts we don’t. If one part hurts, every other part is involved in the hurt, and in the healing. If one part flourishes, every other part enters into the exuberance.
Isaiah 53:2-3 The Voice (VOICE)
2 Out of emptiness he came, like a tender shoot from rock-hard ground. He didn’t look like anything or anyone of consequence—he had no physical beauty to attract our attention.
3 So he was despised and forsaken by men, this man of suffering, grief’s patient friend.
As if he was a person to avoid, we looked the other way; he was despised, forsaken, and we took no notice of him.
Romans 2:11 Amplified Bible (AMP)
For God shows no partiality [no arbitrary favoritism; with Him one person is not more important than another].
Judges 7:20 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)
And the three companies blew the trumpets and shattered the pitchers, holding the torches in their left hands, and in their right hands the trumpets to blow [leaving no chance to use swords], and they cried, The sword for the Lord and Gideon!
