Moments for Mums: IdentitySample

I am so quick to remind my daughter that she is unique and wonderfully made by God when she is feeling down and frustrated. Then I turn around and criticise myself for something I did or didn’t do or an aspect of my personality that frustrates me. How often do I actually thank God for the way he made me?
I admire a sunset, the beach or the clouds and declare that the works of God’s hands are wonderful and yet don’t include the work He did to create and form me.
I have learned that accepting the truth of being awesomely and wonderfully made by God brings a quiet confidence and sense of security. This deep identity allows me to think of myself less and be more available for others.
Take some time today to thank God specifically for who he made you to be.
Prayer
Lord, I am awesomely and wonderfully made by you. Thank you for who you made me to be. Amen
Scripture
