You are custom-made!

Some people would say that there is nothing quite like having something custom-made.  There are a plethora of television programmes where the theme is exactly that; items being custom made, repaired or restored in such a way that they are one of a kind. The product is designed to be exactly what the owner would like it to be. Sometimes however, the scope of the project is left up to the designer or builder. When this is allowed, the product often turns out to be far better than the owner could have imagined in their wildest dreams.

The bible suggests that each of us has been custom-made by God. In other words, YOU have been custom-made by God. Psalm 139 says that:

“13 … it was you (God) who formed my inward parts; you knit me together in
my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your 
works; that I know very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, 

intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes beheld my unformed substance. In your book were written all the
days that were formed for me, when none of them as yet existed.
(NRSV)

You are custom-made!  When we come to that realisation, we may get a glimpse of just how awesome we are. Humankind have been amazingly and intricately created by God with the capacity to do amazing things! Knowing this, we can be relaxed and content in what we are and who we are. When we walk in God's purpose, it could be the greatest adventure of our life because it could end up being beyond our wildest dreams!

May God bless you in this adventure.
