Zacchaeus wouldn't have been able to scurry up that tree if he wasn't so wee.
"But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, 'Why have you made me like this'? Does not the Potter have power over the clay..." Romans 9:20-21a
How do you view yourself, Friend? Do you have confidence in who you are? Do you know that every hair, every freckle, every inch of your stature was handcrafted and given to you by God? So many of us look at our reflections with critical, judging eyes. We compare ourselves to others and set up unhealthy habits in order to reach unattainable standards. To critique the Lord's design is to tell your Creator that His creation is flawed. "Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?" 1Corinthians 3:16; "Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?" 1Corinthians 6:19. You belong to Jesus Christ and it is His reflection that you should see when you look at you. Before He formed you into existence, you were an approved blueprint! You are perfect because He made you! His eyes are always upon you and His gaze is one of true & lasting love. He adores you just as you are! Adopt Christ's perspective and be proud to be the you He made you to be!
"I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well." Psalm 139:14
Find Joy in Him, Beloved!
