Do you ever look in the mirror and hate what you see? Do ever just stand there staring at that reflection, totally consumed with the 4,273 things you wish you could change about you? Do you know how it feels to look around at other people that seem perfect and wish that you were like them? ‘Cause I do. I was always scrawny and slow, which is a terrible combination when you’re trying to play football. I looked around at guys who could pick up cars and other guys who could run so fast they’d turn off the light switch in their bedroom and be under the covers before it got dark. Man, I wanted to be like those guys and not like me. Maybe you’ve felt that way before, but here’s the thing: That voice inside your head telling you to hate everything about you is a liar. That voice belongs to the one that the Bible calls ‘the king of terrors’ and he’s a jerk. Satan can’t stand you and he wants you to think you’re trash. You know, a couple of years ago somebody gave my daughter a grungy, old, knock-off My Little Pony doll. It was pitiful, but Anna loved that thing. It was blue, so she named it Thomas and she didn’t care what anyone else thought because Thomas was her treasure and to her, he was precious. Here’s the truth: Jesus made you. He invented everything about you and guess what? He likes you that way. He thought up your personality, He crafted your form, He fine-tuned everything that makes you the individual you are. He made you on purpose and He flat-out loves you like this.
