Uniqueness of each journey

-

I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.. (Psa 139:14)

 

Doing church this morning, there was a very interesting discussion about mental health and the effects of lockdown. There are so many opinions and ideas out there; on social media, in conservations. Everywhere you turn, there is an opinion to pull you over to this side and that side. Life is never black and white, but shades of uncertainties, fear, joys, and achievements.

There are no two people with the same history, background, mental wellbeing, and life experiences.  What makes one person tick and makes another feel. Each person has their own journey. It is unique to that person. It is the beauty of life that we have such an amazing range and variety of people to interact with. And somehow, we are tried to push others to be the same as us for whatever reason.

There is a saying, “Slow to speak, quick to listen”. Listening to others does not mean we have to give up our standards or opinions, it just allows others to voice their concerns. Understand their point of view also helps us to understand their concerns.

We are reminded that each is made differently and uniquely. Made with spirit, soul, and life experiences that cannot be replicated, so each has their reasons and ways to deal with difficulties in their lives. I understand we all have concerns and worries in life, whether it is health, finance, wellbeing, or something else.  So, the question is, would pushing our opinions on others to accept change any of it?  

Finding hope and beauty in the uniqueness of each person, helps us to grow in all parts of life. Makes life worth living.

Devotion - Where's my security?

Psa 139:14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully [and] wonderfully made: marvelous [are] thy works; and [that] my soul knoweth right well.   This has to be one of my favourite verses in Scripture.  The days passed has made me think about my little journey and I must admit that I have become less and less certain about my path through this thing called life. Every step seems to be filled with holes and stumps; every turn and corner looks the same. Reminds me, when you are lost in the forest or a strange city, every turn seem to lead you back to the same place. Yes, this is before Google maps when you actually have to walk around with a paper map in your hands. It makes me ask the question, "What is the point of all this?" The work, making money, buy a big and latest car, bigger house, etc. I don't have the answers, just more questions. Everything does fade in our eyes, the value and shine disappears. People - family and friends around me are with us for a short time. But

I'm so HOT! - I am UNIQUE (Psa 139:13-14)

13 For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb. 14 I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. There are two phrases I wanted to concentrate on: “I am Wonderfully made” and “I am Fearfully made”. Why? The answer is easy; I am made in the image of the Living God. 1.1 I am Wonderfully Made… The last time I checked the world’s population it was hitting about 7 billion or more accurately 6,706,993,152. Imagine 7 billion people who are totally unique and different. It’s amazing isn’t it? Friends tell me that I evolved from monkeys but I don’t want to go to the zoo to visit my uncle? In verse 13, I am told that God knitted and knew even before I was in my mother’s womb. I was made in some wonderful way that my life counts for something. In [Psa 8:4], the psalmist asked, what is man that God is so mindful of him? In our big and wonderful world of ours,
