You Are Perfect!

Just the Way You Are
Billy Joel

Don't go changing to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times; I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are
Billy Joel's words remind us that we are Perfect...made in God's image..uniquely created by God himself...indeed a miracle...short and tall...round and square...little or no hair...blonde and brunette...feisty or calm....


It is He who has created us, Just the Way We are, 
....God did not make us on a mass production line. He took great care in making us who we were meant to be. He had a purpose in mind for us even before we came into being......He knew we would sin and be helpless to live up to His expectations. He knew we would fall. He knew we would fail, but he gave us a chance. Even though we have failed Him, He has provided us with hope and a way back to Him.
Psalm 199:3, "Know ye that the Lord is God; it is He that has made us, and not we ourselves. We are his people, and the sheep of his flock."
.....You may not feel like a masterpiece. There are times when we feel anything but! Living life here on this planet is not always easy. But the Lord wants us to know how much He loves us and that He is with us even in times of despair.
If you feel abandoned today, please know that God is there. He may be just waiting for you to call on Him
