“...and it was good”
Scripture: Genesis 1: 12b and 18b “And God saw that it was good”
When I was growing up I had a front tooth broken off, so for many years I wore a cap over that tooth. I was always so embarrassed that I didn’t like to smile or talk very much.
Then one day a dentist fixed that tooth which made me feel so much better that I smiled and felt good again.
When you are growing up, you might not like something about yourself. Perhaps its your teeth, or hair, maybe you would like to be taller or shorter, or something else that doesn’t seem good to you. That is when our scripture reading becomes even more important. It say ”And God saw that it was good.”
We are all created by God. When you read in Genesis about God’s creations, you start to notice that after each thing God created, He called it good. And that means you and me too. We are just right in God’s eyes. He made each one of us special, one-of-a-kind and very good!
So the next time you don’t like something about yourself, remember that after God made you, he saw that it was good! God made you, so you are good indeed!!!
Have a terrific week dear friends. May God bless you always.- until next time,
Your friend,
Miss Gretchen
