As I gazed up at the mountain nearby, I was awed by their majesty; I bowed my head and asked myself, "Why should He care for me? I am not great like the mountains that tower so high between Holland and Switzerland. What is there about me that God can find to love?" *"Father, I am not strong like the wind that makes your trees sway or as the powerful hurricanes that cause natural pain to millions.
Lord, I cannot sing sweetly like your birds but will you love me anyway? Most of all, I am simply me, and often have cause to fear. Inspite of all my weakness, do you promise to be near?"* With eyes closed tightly against my tears, I wished He could hear me pray.
Then I felt Hid Spirit tell me within my spirit man; "Child, look up, I have something to say. You are simply you, the spirit I love, a part of My great plan. I put you here to learn of life and to return to Me again. You are more beautiful to me than the loveliest mountain I made, And your strength exceeds that of the wind's , so do not be afraid. I love you not for what you are, but for what you are, but for what i knoe you will be. I am always besids you watching you grow, you are very special to me".
A smile touched my lips like the kisses of nature after an early morning snow, becsuse I knew it was true; My father had always been there giving me comfort and blessings and love and my own special talents to share. So I do my best to make Him proud. I am not afraid any more, for you see, He loves me not for what I am ,, but for what He knows I will be. And the Holy Ghost wants you to know that the same principle applies to you in your walk with God on planet earth: He loves you not for what you are, for what He knows you will be.
This God knew the weakness of Abraham as a fearful liar, but He chose Abraham who trusted Him and sacrificed his only son! He knew Moses had a weakness of anger, but He chose him because He saw Moses as the fearless deliverer who humiliated Pharaoh! He saw Peter the DOVE, timid and weak, but He chose to see peter the rock (rugged and strong).
No matter how the world sees you or no matter the human weaknesses in your life, always remember that your God sees what and who you can be and not what you are now! Refuse to write off yourself! *Refuse to be a victim of your present because your tomorrow is awesome!
Peace!
