Have you ever found yourself in the middle of the razor isle at Walmart??? OK well let me just tell you its a scary place that's for sure! There seems to be thousands of razors all promising to work a different miracle on your unwanted body hair. Each one a different shape or color some even with built in shaving cream. Its crazy to think that someone somewhere in a lab spends countless hours focusing on something as small as a razor, and its probably a really big deal that theirs stand out from all the rest. I mean theres alot of different types of body hair in this world and to think that you have to try and invent a razor that does it all, leave a clean shave, moisturize, smoothing , soothing and the list goes on . I cant even begin to imagine trying to do it. I mean just with my 5 ft 1in self sometimes I think I'm going to need a weed eater because I've gone without shaving my legs for so long so it blows my mind when i think about it , which explains in case anyone that knows me is wondering why I spend so much time in Walmart ! So last night when it occurred to me that I might be showing some leg this weekend I immediately started thinking about taking that trip to the razor isle and it made me start thinking how those razors seem small and insignificant until you need to use one and then they become pretty important and as silly as it may sound thinking about a razor triggered a thought that I sometimes view my relationship with Jesus the same way and it sent some scary chills through me . I mean just like the makers of the razors our Creator cares about every single detail. He crafted us with the most precious organs , I mean really think for a minute just how significant your heart is. pumping consistently throughout your body at an average beat per minute because your blood flow is such a vital part of your daily living. It pumps just the right about of oxygen at just the right time to keep all of your other parts working properly. Its really a big deal but just like those razors we don't think about how important it is until something happens and we realize we really need it. The gifts and talents that our creator gave each one of us are usually treated the same way. I mean He carefully chose what your unique gift would be paired it with your unique personality and Wa La when used together they could really make a tremendous difference in not only your own life but someone elses too. But just like those razors until we know for sure that our personality traits or gifts are going to be used to benefit us in the way we want them too we do not dare use them together or separate. I think sometimes its easier to try and be someone your not to fit in and you know it may even work for a while, but just like a woman using a mans razor its destined for doom!! God intends us to be who HE created us to be and even more than that because HE so carefully created YOU he will not give up on you. He will constantly allow you to go through situations that may not be comfortable for you but He Loves you and He wants you to be YOU !
So now that I have probably reminded you that your legs and pits need shaving :) Let me also remind you how unique you are ! Think about this ! You are totally different from anyone else. God could have made us all exactly the same! That would have been so much easier for Him I'm sure but He loves us all so much that He wanted us all to have our own unique qualities ! He made YOU for a reason! I want to challenge you to think about that today ! How could your gifts be used today to bring our amazing Creator glory . Just like when a manufactoror knows his razor is being sold and used God wants the same from us. He wants to know that each gift or personality or talent that He so carefully placed in us is being used . Dont worry about what other people think what really counts in the end is that YOU are who YOU were created to be...... ............
oh and for the record.......I love the Oceana Venus razor :)
Psalm:139:14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well
