SELF-PERCEPTION

PLEASE READ GENESIS 1:26-31

When God created us, He didn’t say, “Oh, I guess that’ll do” or “I could probably do better but this is good enough” or “whoops! I made a mistake there”.  No!  He looked on us with pride and exclaimed………..VERY GOOD! 

How would God have felt when He said those words?  How do I feel when something I've done turns out exceptionally well?  I feel proud of my creation……satisfied with my work. I like it when others enjoy my work and are blessed by it. Their compliments feel good to me. 

Do you think maybe God feels that way too?  Having a sense of satisfaction and pride in His creation, pleased with His work and desirous that it would bring enjoyment to us and those around us.  I do know He likes it when we praise Him for His creation too.  READ PSALM 150

Learning about God’s concept of me and His attitude towards me – His creation - has changed how I look at and feel about myself.  I now say the same about myself that David said in Psalm 139. 
"I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well. "

I praise Him for how He has made me and I enjoy and praise Him for others He has created as well …..thanking Him for making them the way they are because everyone that God has created – me and you my friend – He says is VERY GOOD! 

Take a moment to thank God for making you VERY GOOD!  Post your prayer to Him in the comments below and let's all Praise the Lord together!

This makes me want to praise the Lord for all His creation. It is so beautiful. When I do praise Him I must remember to include myself. I cannot say when I look in the mirror that what I see makes me smile and say "very good" but rather, I see where the improvements need to be made. I need to change my attitude and include me in the "very good" when I am praising God for His creation.
