×Fearfully & Wonderfully Made×

We are all purposely made, just like these beautiful crockeries, for a special purpose. Their appearance and functions are all very different from one another. However, one thing is the same. They all have a specific purpose to fulfill when it was made. The potter definitely did not make that tea pot for nothing. Before it was made, The potter conceived it in his mind that he wanted to make it to contain tea so that it can be poured out to serve people a drink. The potter wanted to make tea cups to contain tea poured out of the tea pot so that people can drink from it. The potter made plates of different shapes and sizes for different purposes too.

I don't know about you but just looking at all these amazing crockery makes me so happy. I love to admire crockeries. They each have such exquisite detail and design of it's own. And if we, mere people can admire their beauty, what more the potter himself who created these crockery? Won't he be fascinated with his own designs and be proud of what he has made? Won't he take full delight in each one of them?

Can the tea pot say that it hates being a tea pot because it doesn't want a big 'nose' sticking out of it and say she'd rather be a cup because they are smaller and prettier? Can the cup say that it hates being a cup and wants to be a plate instead? Or can the plate say to the other plate that she would rather look like her because she hates how she looks? No way! 

So likewise, why do we humans like to compare with one another and want to be like someone else? It's such a shame because we are missing out on our very own destiny that we were all originally meant to fulfill when God, the Maker of the Heavens and the Earth conceived us in His mind for. 

If only the tea pot stops looking at others and realises how important and beautiful she actually is to the Potter. If only the tea pot stops trying to find ways to break her 'nose' off to be like a cup. No matter how hard she tries to be like a cup, she can never be a cup. She'll just end up looking like a funny looking pot that has a hole at her bottom because her 'nose' is gone. Even if she tries to contain tea, she can't because of that big hole. Haha sounds ridiculous for the tea pot to do it, right? Likewise for us, I bet it looks ridiculous to God when we try to do the same. To be something/ someone that we are not. 

Imagine if you are the Potter that specially handmade all the crockeries the way you like them to be. But all of them starts complaining to you that they hate how they look and say to you that you don't know what you're doing? :O! I'd be upset! Do the clay think that they are better and greater than me? How can they think that at all? I am the one that created them and fashioned them all into being.

Don't you know my dear that it breaks God's heart too when you do the same to Him? Ranting about how you dislike yourself... That IF ONLY I have this, or look like this, or have this talent, or have that instead of this, I would be happy. Sounds familiar? 

I've seen many people fall into depression because they dislike being themselves. They alter themselves to fit in the mould of the World.

If that's you today, I pray that you would not keep comparing yourself to others, stop putting yourselves down, stop hating yourself and embrace yourself the way God uniquely made you to be. You are his marvelous and beloved creation! You have an amazing destiny planned out by God that no one else can have except you. When you stop walking in other's shoes and realise your own potential and calling, you'll shine so brightly. You'll inspire many! 

So lift up your head and wipe away those tears pretty ladies. You are all fearfully and wonderfully made by God! :)

♡ You're BEAUTIFUL ♡

God said "You turn things upside down, as if the potter were thought to be like the clay! Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, "You did not make me"? Can the pot say to the potter, "You know nothing"?" Isaiah 29:16
