Don't Sell Yourself Short, The Standard is Set

Psalm 139:13-15 For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth.(ESV) And here is the (NLT) for emphasis 13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb.14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. 15 You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.

 My Brothers and Sisters upon reading this portion of God's word what is there left to say. You are a designers original, a masterpiece in time, unique and complex there is not another you on the face of the earth matter of fact in all the universe to take it further in all creation which encompasses the visible and invisible spiritual world. WOW now isn't that something to be excited about. And to put it more in perspective our LORD doesn't make junk... Just take a look at the universe He "spoke into being"... yes He spoke into being. Yet He took the time to shape us and form us taking care to get every detail down pact. You my brother and you my sister are God's masterful workmanship... Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

My exhortation to you therefore is this... Do not sell yourselves short because God personally designed you to be all that you can be in Him. 

Ladies you are not objects of pleasure, you are not rag dolls, Barbie dolls or the like, you are not door mats for everyone to walk over, you are Princesses, Queens and Priests, you are mothers, nurturers and caregivers, you are Daughters of Zion you are the Beloved that Jesus died for... your  worth  is  beyond measure  ...   raise  the bar  sisters.  Brothers  you are not  goons,  thugs, playas, gangsters, and the sort, you are Kings and Princes, you are Priests and Fathers, you are lovers of righteousness, you are called to stand firm and protect, not abuse... You are sons of God and are called to be as He is we are called to LOVE even as the Father Loves... So brothers I call you also to RAISE THE BAR... The standard is set already in God's Word. We are a part of His economy let us rise up to the standard set for us being an example to all men.

 My prayer is that we raise the bar in all that we do, so that our God and Savior be glorified in all aspects of our lives and be made manifest to a world crying out for restoration, for life, for LOVE.

 With Love from Time to Eternity, Jamal.
