MEMORISE: Just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love. Ephesians 1:4
BIBLE READING: Psalm 139:14-15 (KJV)
- I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
- My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
MESSAGE:
Before you were born, God chose, loved, valued, and accepted you. However, because we live in a world where everyone is trying to fit in, it’s easy for a person to lose sight of who he or she really is. Similarly, social media, peer pressure, and trends can make one feel like he or she has to change to be accepted, but the truth is that a person’s true worth isn’t found in how many likes he or she gets or how well he or she fits in; it’s found in Christ.
When you give your life to Jesus, you’re completely transformed. Your past mistakes, insecurities, and fears no longer define you. The world may try to put labels on you like ‘not good enough,’ ‘too weird,’ ‘too different,’ but God’s labels are the only ones that matter. He calls you His child (John 1:12), His masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10), and His friend (John 15:15).
My dear child, instead of chasing the latest trends or trying to be someone you’re not, focus on what God says about you. You’re not a mistake or an accident; you were created as a masterpiece. So, embrace your identity in Christ and stop seeking approval from people.
KEY POINT:
Don’t try to fit in, stand out!
