we are UNIQUE!!! :D
hello everyone (:
just the other day I was debating with my mum about the length of my fingers. I was saying that my fingers are really short, and that I have the shortest fingers in class, but my mum was saying that I have the longest fingers in the family. After I won that debate, my mum was again commenting on how my feet were quite small, and on and on we went... Sparing you the details and to cut a long story short, something struck me as I recalled a verse in the Bible.
well the very next day, I was doing some last minute Christmas shopping and decided to take a look in life bookstore (that's a Christian bookstore, for those of you who don't go out much (:) when a book caught my eye. The title was "God's mirror". Well I didn't really need to flip open the book to know that it was about how we were made in His image and that we should reflect to others how God wants us to behave. Then the verse struck me again.
Well I was having lunch with a friend, and he just happened to mention a song, saying it was about Psalm 139, and immediately I mentioned the verse that struck me, and he looked at me in shock, asking how I knew the title of the song. hmm...
and yet again, while I was dozing on the mrt today, a conversation between two old ladies happened to be the first thing i heard when i jerked awake. One of them was talking about how her grandson used to be so handsome and such a good boy before he started dying his hair and doing all sorts of body piercings just so that he could fit in with his 'cool' friends. And this time the verse crashed into my head like a slap across the face.
well it can't get any clearer than THAT. I mean, how often does a verse strike you four times, three days in a row? God was yelling at me, and I felt this overwhelming sense to tell someone about it, and so what better way to do it than here?
I'm sure you're all familiar with this verse after last year's church camp :P but God is reminding me of this verse once again, seeing as I've forgotten about it for some time.
"I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Your works are wonderful, I know that full well."
Psalm 139:14
We are all fearfully and wonderfully made, God knew what we would look like from even before our parents met! Doesn't that make you feel special? He made each and every one of us different, for different reasons. But you know what? He made us IN HIS IMAGE. We are God's mirrors! People look at us, and they see God's reflection! WE are the very likeness of God Himself! Therefore, we must SHINE like a beacon of LIGHT for others to SEE and PRAISE God for His wonders! (:
The next time you don't feel good about yourself, or you look in the mirror and don't like what you see there, remember that WE ARE FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE, and WE ARE MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD! look at yourself in a new light, and stand up and say "I AM SPECIAL! and God has an EXTRA SPECIAL plan for YOU! :D
have a blessed Christmas everyone!!! xD

Prinsep Lighthouse (PLH) is the youth ministry of Prinsep Street Presbyterian Church.
It’s meant for all youths aged 13-18 years old to come together every Sunday for a fellowship
as well as to worship God and learn more about Him.PLH is on every Sunday from 11am to 12.45pm.
On usual Sundays, we have worship time from 11-11.30am. During worship, we sing songs of praise to God.
After which the youths will break up into their respective groups to do a Bible Study for the rest of the time there.
These Bible Studies are led by Mentors, who are really nice and fun people and are very knowledgeable and helpful as well.
While doing Bible Studies, we share about our life too! Our joy, our pride, our problems, our challenges..and through this,
