Psalm
8:5 "Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels,
and hast crowned him with glory and honour".
There
are not many days that go by where I feel very holy. As much
as I might like to be a reflection of Jesus Christ, I am afraid
that my image is a very dim one at best. For each success
I have at walking in the footsteps of Christ, I have a dozen
failures where I have strayed from the path. And through it
all, God still loves me totally. In my imperfection, God still
reveres me and thinks I am good. It boggles the mind to realise
that human beings are God's pride and joy.
Despite
the grief and frustration we must be, God believes in us and
helps us to be the best people that we can be. He loves His
children and rejoices in their victories. Our Lord created
us just lower than the angels; the most perfect of His creations.
Despair not. No matter how inadequate we might feel, we are
considered beautiful by our Creator, and in the end it is
His opinion, not ours, that makes all the difference in the
world.
Prayer:
Grant
me spiritual wings that I might soar as an angel on this earth,
O Lord. Help me to live up to the intention You had at my
creation. Let me wear my crown wisely and proudly, to Your
glory. Amen.
