God Made You and Loves You

If you ever feel left out or mistreated, if people talk about you instead

of talking to you, you are not alone. It can be hard to deal with the pain

of rejection or getting less than what is fair, but it can be comforting to

know that you have a God who designed you, created you in a special way,

and loves you. God knew what He was doing when He made you. He gave you the

hair color and texture you havethe hair others might not like, but God

does. He gave you the smile you havethe one you might feel self-conscious

about, but He loves to see. He gave you your personalitythe one others

might tease you for, but He is delighted by. You were designed in a certain

way. You were put on this earth for a certain reason. You are not an

accident or a mistake. We all have days we feel rejected and hurt. God is

there for us on those days. He sees what we’re going through and has

compassion on us. He created us, He made us special, and He loves us. â

Emily Acker â What is one thing you like about the way God made you? â When

it’s difficult to remember that God made you on purpose and He delights in

you, who are trusted Christians in your life who can help you remember? How

can you be this kind of friend to others? â Jesus knows what it feels like

to be rejected and mistreated. He was betrayed and abandoned by His

friends, insulted by unjust rulers, and mocked by crowds of people who had

sung His praises only days before. Jesus endured all of this…for us. If

we’ve put our trust in Jesus, we can know that God will never reject us,

never mistreat us. How might this truth give you comfort? You have searched

me, Lord, and you know me. Psalm 139:1 (NIV)
