Day Twenty-Two
“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created
us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long
ago.” Ephesians 2:10
Loons are known for their distinct mournful
cry. It can be heard from quite a distance. Often one pair of loons will be the
only ones on a lake or a river and to watch them swim is almost like watching a
ballet because they are so graceful.
But on land they are clumsy and vulnerable.
Some early nature writers often made fun of their land movements.
The psalmist tells us that we are “fearfully
and wonderfully made.” Like snowflakes, we are each unique and have different
talents and abilities.
Until we discover and grow into our parts,
sometimes we feel clumsy and awkward and feel like others are making fun of us.
It’s normal, especially when we have a growth spurt.
But when we are being the unique people God
created us to be, we can then recognize our beauty regardless of what others
see or say. And we know that we will get used to the changes that are happening
in us.
