God finds you unique
Radio meditation by: Evangelist Sieberen Voordewind
Dear listener. Beloved listener, you think you're worth nothing? Are you according to other people "a piece of dirt"? Perhaps people have downtrodden and humiliated you, because they find you ugly, antisocial, junk or worthless.
Perhaps you are not beloved by your family, friends, acquaintances or other people. Their talk about you is humiliating. According to them you will never achieve anything in life. Oh, you feel inner pain. You have sorrow. But nobody may see your tears, you feel very inferior. What should you do? My dear friend or girlfriend, it's not by chance that you listen to this powerful message. I have wonderful news for you. The people I have described have held the wrong mirror before you! For example! Have you ever been in a room where all types of laugh mirrors stood? Before one mirror, your face was very long and before another mirror it is very broad. In each mirror you saw another look. There were many mirrors. There was not one mirror which showed your real look. Do you know what I mean? There was nothing wrong with you, but with the mirrors.
These mirrors were distorted and not you.
It's bad when people showing you "a wrong mirror" through their words and actions. By showing you a "wrong" mirror, after a while you believed their words. They said: "You are a piece of garbage." The result was that you began to believe that you're "garbage". Don't believe in the lies of others anymore. The Living God finds you unique and valuable. Perhaps you say: "But I am a sinner and God hates me."No! God hates the sin, but never the sinner. For God so intensely loved you, that He gave up His only begotten Son for your sins to die. Read in the Bible the scriptures in John 3: 16.
God greatly loved you that He wants you to have eternal life. For free! And... you are not originating of the monkeys. The Bible says: "For you did form my inward parts; you did knit me together in my mother's womb. I will confess and praise You for You are fearful and wonderful and for the awful wonder of my birth..." (Psalm 139: 13-14). It is God who created you. Maybe by people you do not count but the Living God does. His Son, Jesus Christ wants to be your Friend.
How do you come into contact with him? Do this: kneel down somewhere, ask Jesus to live into your heart and renew everything. Tell Him your pain and sorrow. Read the Bible. Especially the Gospel to John. Believe the Bible and ... Do what the Bible tells you to do. The Bible is the real "mirror". He finds you wonderful.
When you've found Jesus, then you have found a very, very, best Friend, who loves and accepts you. In His presence you can be yourself. You are unique. "So God created man in His own image, in the image and likeness of God He created him, male and female. He created them. And God blessed them... and God saw His creation and it was very good..." (Genesis1).
I wish you God's Blessing. Amen!
