DOWNSIZING

You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous ,how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.
How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can't even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me! Psalm 139:13-18 NLT


In these days of economic uncertainity, downsizing of all sorts are abounding. Companies are downsizing their workforce, people are downsizing their homes (due to unability to pay for them), and sometimes downsizing causes losses. When loss occurs, it can cause anger, guilt, grief and fear. Sometimes, when we've had a loss, we feel like complete failures! But what is important for us to understand is that our worth is not measured by what other people think of us, it's measured by God's love for us. And His love is unlimited and unconditional. Praise Him!

We should evaluate any mistakes, we have made and then, most importantly, learn from them. It is also, important to remember that we are precious to God and he wants to help us with our losses.

Take time today, to thank Him, that every day of your life was recorded, while you were still in the womb. That, God knows what tommorrow holds and he holds you too!
