Am I special?

Last night I was setting out my "you are special" plates for a few dinner guests. My table setter for the evening immediately verbalized his inner most, deepest question of the heart, "what about me? Am I special?"  Oh, that question!  It resides in the heart of all of us, doesn't it? "Am I special?" Do I matter? Does my life here on this earth make a difference? Is there anything unique that stands out about me?

> YES! YES! YES!.  How peaceful our hearts would be if we really believed that our lives are soooo precious and soooo special to our Creator. Is it not AMAZING and is God not whispering something when He has created billions of people and NONE OF THEM/ NOT ONE OF US have had the same fingerprint? He compares us to no one and we are free to be the one he has created us to be.

> "I pray that you, being rooted and established (ponder the depth of meaning here all you gardeners) in LOVE, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how WIDE and LONG and HIGH and DEEP is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge- that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God." Ephesians 3:18 & 19

> As we walk through life this day, may our souls be at rest in the knowledge that Christ's love for each one of us is soooooo deep it is difficult to grasp and each one of us is sooo special to him. May we not have to fight for people's attention because we belive in the depths of our soul that we are special to the one who has made us for a particular purpose- maybe common or maybe noble- but it doesn't matter because we were made for Him and His purpose.  May we be overwhelmed today at the miracle and wonder of the Creator giving a different fingerprint to every soul that has walked this earth and may we treat each soul as the special creation that they are.  You are soo special! You are so special! He even knows the number of hairs on our head (Matthew 10:30). Tell someone they are sooooo special today! Blessings from Bombadil. May your soul be watered and may you water another's soul. Kristy Joy Link
