Day 18- God' s Fitting Room


In God' s  kingdom one  size  does  not  fit   all,
just  like  in  the  physical  world.
 Each  one  of  us  have   been
created  a unique  indivdul,
  having  our own   private  finger prints,
uncertain  number  of  hair on   our  heads
(uncertain because   everyday  we  lose  hair,
at  least  I  do)
clothes sizes  which  shrink  more  than   hang loose  LOL.
(We  should  blame  our  clothes not  our 
weight   right?
 They  (clothes)  seem  to  have  a  mind  of  their  own.)

Our  inmitable  personalities  are  n 't stamped out  in
a coin   mint  either.
The  complex  network of  our  mind,  emotion and  will 
 weaves 
us into   singular  personalities
on God 's  unparallel  loom.
Each  person is  God-stamped whether 
he  appreciates  it or  not.
An  impersoal  force  or  mindless   machine
would  have churned us  us  out  like
choco  bars  in Willy  Wonka' s  factory.
But  God  infused us with  His
unequivocal colours
which give each one  of  us our
unmistakable  size, shape  and stirring.

"I will  give  thanks to Thee,
for  I am fearfully and wonderfully
made"
Psalm 139;14 (BIBLE)

Here  is    poem by  Susan Locke which speaks
about  accepting  one another.

"In the  fitting  room
of God 's big family
do we force-fit shoes
yet claim they fit amply?

Do we find  a  church job
that 's about size seven
then cram in a foot
that  needs  an  eleven?

Do we fit new  Christians
who have  barely begun,
in huge  heavy work boots
instead of size one?

And when the fit' s good-
one just right for the  foot-
are we  busy elsewhere
when the  toe and shoe  meet?

When will we  learn -
a foot  that 's well  shod
has just  enough growth room
to run well for God."
