Flawless

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. ⁵ God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day." Genesis 1: 1-5

"So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." "God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day."
Genesis 1:27 & 31

"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."
Psalm 139: 13-14

From these verses we learn that God created the Heavens and the Earth and He created you and me. The phrase it was good is frequently used in Genesis referencing God's perspective of what He was creating. Do you ever just know you did a good job? That's how God felt when He was busy creating the Heavens and the Earth and everything in between! We know that God makes NO mistakes and that He is a perfect God therefore we can conclude that nothing God created has a single flaw or imperfection from His vantage point. That includes you and me. We were made flawless in our Heavenly Father's eyes and nothing we can do or say will change that.

Stand next to a large body of water or a forest or mountain take a deep breath and look around you God made it ALL and he made it flawless. Not a single flower, tree, river, lake, mountain, forest was made imperfectly they were each created with extreme detail and the utmost perfection.  Take for a moment and reflect on Psalm 139 knitting is a very detailed task each stitch must be made intentionally and with perfect execution. Now think about yourself think of all the details that make you- YOU. God knit all these details together in order to make a perfect creation. He made YOU FLAWLESS.
 
The world wants you to believe that you are full of flaws, but that's just not true. The world says you aren't smart enough, pretty enough, strong enough, tall enough, skinny enough, and on and on the lies go. God says the cross made you ENOUGH!

“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.  That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."  2 Corinthians 12: 9-10


Dear God, when I feel like I'm an imperfect mess remind me that I am your creation. When the world beats me down and tells me I'm not enough pour your grace over me. Lord we are all just broken people, but through you we are made whole. Thank you for the cross and making us in your likeness, Amen.
