In God' s kingdom one size does not fit all,
just like in the physical world.
Each one of us have been
created a unique indivdul,
having our own private finger prints,
uncertain number of hair on our heads
(uncertain because everyday we lose hair,
at least I do)
clothes sizes which shrink more than hang loose LOL.
(We should blame our clothes not our
weight right?
They (clothes) seem to have a mind of their own.)
Our inmitable personalities are n 't stamped out in
a coin mint either.
The complex network of our mind, emotion and will
weaves
us into singular personalities
on God 's unparallel loom.
Each person is God-stamped whether
he appreciates it or not.
An impersoal force or mindless machine
would have churned us us out like
choco bars in Willy Wonka' s factory.
But God infused us with His
unequivocal colours
which give each one of us our
unmistakable size, shape and stirring.
"I will give thanks to Thee,
for I am fearfully and wonderfully
made"
Psalm 139;14 (BIBLE)
Here is poem by Susan Locke which speaks
about accepting one another.
"In the fitting room
of God 's big family
do we force-fit shoes
yet claim they fit amply?
Do we find a church job
that 's about size seven
then cram in a foot
that needs an eleven?
Do we fit new Christians
who have barely begun,
in huge heavy work boots
instead of size one?
And when the fit' s good-
one just right for the foot-
are we busy elsewhere
when the toe and shoe meet?
When will we learn -
a foot that 's well shod
has just enough growth room
to run well for God."

Well, Amrita ... Two days to halfway through this 40 Day adventure! How are you doing? BTW, I really like the concept of this post! This one could be developed into a whole Bible study theme for a series of devotional presentations at Ladies Retreat!
Great post Amrita ~ I really loved this line ~~ God infused us with His unequivocal colours which give each one of us our unmistakable size, shape and stirring. ~~
Have a wonderful week ~ FlowerLady
Two important issues today. God has created us individually. Therefor we are equipped for different tasks in his kingdom. Also the newborn in must be given milk and not solid food to develop. I'm afraid many are scared away because they aren't accustomed to all the new "rules and behaving" of the church. Oh, that they must be treated like most loved new born and carefully, lovingly included in the fellowship.
I really valu e your comments my dear friends. Thank you
