3:52 – Be A Snowflake

#faithbites #faithjourney snowflake

Are you a snowflake? Most people would say no, because many use it to describe young liberal people who are too fragile. I was called a snowflake today. But if we truly look at a snowflake, we would all want to be one. It’s even Biblical…

Scripture

• I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well – psalm 139:14
• For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. – Ephesians 2:10
• Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. – Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

Reflection

Let’s look at a snowflake. It’s unique – no two have the same design. When many come together in a snow storm there is power in it. Think of the power behind an avalanche. Billions of snowflakes together.

In Jesus, we are all wonderfully and uniquely made. God knew us before we were born and had plans for each one of us. We are also made to live together, help each other, and give each other strength.

So instead of looking at the glass as half empty, i.e. a snowflake is fragile and week, we look at the glass as half full. A strong uniquely made force of nature.

I’m proud to be a unique child of God who works together with all of God’s children for positive change.

Challenge

How do you express your uniqueness and power that God has given you. How do you take what some see as weakness and turn it into strength? Take 5 minutes today and write down your strength and how you being you helps you do God’s work.

Prayer

Lord God, thank you for making us all unique. Thank you for showing us how to see things in your light and not the light of the world. We love you and know you want us to work together rather than tear each other apart. Help us form that strong cord that can not be torn apart. In your name, Amen.
