8.28.12

1 Corinthians 15:41 The sun has one kind of glory, while the moon and stars each have another kind. And even the stars differ from each other in their glory.

 

My Thoughts

We sang this song at Chruch on Sunday morning it starts out like this "No one else can love you like I love you Lord.  My first thought was "Oh,  but so many people are so much better at loving God than me!".... then I heard the rest of the song and I had an "ahh haa" moment... let me share the words....

 

No one else can love You like I love You, Lord
'Cause I was made unique in Your heart heart
I was made to bring You joy

Now I have a purpose
Now I have a destiny
You made me for You glory
You made me for You glory

No one else can love You like I love You, Lord
'Cause I was made unique in Your heart heart
I was made to bring You joy

Now I have a purpose
Now I have a destiny
You made me for You glory
You made me for You glory

I was made for
I was made for
I was made for
I was made for
I was made for

I was made for love

 

Now I have come across this verse in my Bible.  I don't have to try and be like anybody else...I get to be me and love God the best I can the way that I know how to love God!!  God loves how I love him. 

 

It made think of how we can have two grandmothers who are so different but we love them both so much!!  We love the differences in them.  We love what each one of them separately, differently bring to our lives.

 

God loves what we bring to Him, and to the world, after all He made us!!  He planned for each of us to show our love in different ways... He knew that each of us would praise Him differently, pray to Him differently, love him in our own unique ways... God planned us the way we are!!  We need to keep learning and growing in Him and His love...but He we don't have to become anybody else in the process...we just have to do our best, our way. 

 

We need to embrace our differences, celebrate who we are! We need to love ourselves so that we can let God's love shine through us to others!! So that we can reach the people that God intended us to reach because we are just who God made us to be!!  Just like the sun was made for it's own glory and the moon for it's own glory. Just like all the stars differ from each other in their glory, we are made for our own glory... we each glorify God by being who we are and loving Him and loving others!!  Isn't that exciting!!
