look down on us for it. On the contrary, with open arms He smiles and says, “My child has come home”. BEAUTIFUL/ONE OF A KIND Have you ever realised that there is no one else on earth like you? Even if they look similar to you, they will never have the same personality as you. You are not a copy of anyone else; you are simply YOU! God has designed it that way so that you have your own identify. The Creator of heaven and earth designed you from scratch and took the time to put every little detail that makes you who you are in place. As a result, you should love the things about you that people may not understand. The things that may be considered to be weird to others are those that defines who you are. They make you stand out among your peers. Just because they may not understand does not mean that it is bad. God understands everything about you because He created you. If He didn’t see it as beautiful, he would not have placed it in you. Don’t allow anyone to make you feel inferior because of any difference you may have. Love the creation that God has made you. After all, if the Master of all beauty loves you so much, how can you not love yourself ? LIGHT OF THE WORLD Have you ever pondered the importance of light in our everyday lives? Without light, we cannot see. If we should mostly live in darkness, all of our daily operations would be impossible to accomplish. The same is true for us and the rest of the world. Our light that we carry through our behaviour and actions towards others represents Jesus Christ. Our mission is to ensure that we follow the example of light that Jesus has given to us, in order to reach those in darkness. This does not only include telling others about Jesus but showing them by our compassion and way of living that Jesus was, is and will always be the best example that we can follow. FEARLESS (2 Timothy 1:7) Fear for the child of God, is not a characteristic that we hold to. “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” What reason do we really have to fear when such a big, marvelous God is on our side? We are children of God and as a result, not only do we have authority over our circumstances, but we are overcomers and MORE than conquerors in anything that comes our way. Fear, therefore is not a part of our nature, simply because it is not a trait of God. The Word of God acts as a spiritual mirror for us. It shows us everything that we are and all that we should aspire and aim to be. The beautiful thing about having a spiritual mirror is that we see how highly God thinks of us and how much He sees us as worth loving and caring for. With this in mind, let us choose to accept only what God says about us as opposed to what others say or even what we say about ourselves.
