Ramblings of a Believer

For those of you who know me, the book “Crazy Love” by Francis Chan, is one of my favorites. In the 10th and final chapter there is a quote that I love; “God is a creator, not a duplicator.”  God created only one of me (this alone shows God’s infinite wisdom, the world can only handle one of me…) and he does not intend for me to be like anyone else or serve anyone else’s purpose.   In Psalm 139:14 it says,  “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;  your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” Notice where it says “Your works are wonderful”; God is talking about me.  He doesn’t make junk.

I spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about how I should be more like this person or that person.  What I really need to do is spend more time being more like the person God intended me to be.  I am “wonderfully made”, not in an arrogant way, but in a way that brings glory to God’s creation.
