You're One Of His Wonderful Works!

Winter weather is polarizing...some people love it; others hate it. Nevertheless, it’s hard to deny how pretty everything looks when it’s snowing. Winter is my favorite season, and few things in life bring me as much joy as snow, so I was so glad to see it on Friday here in the CSRA, even for just a day. Snow isn’t just beautiful; it’s also a reminder about how intentional God is with every single, teeny tiny detail of His creation – including our lives.
Psalm 139:14 says, “I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” Just like no two snowflakes are alike, each of us has our own special traits and gifts that God has given us. Sometimes, it’s easy to feel like we don’t matter or that we’re just another face in the crowd. But remember, God created you with intention and love, and your life has a specific purpose that God had planned before you were even born! (Jeremiah 1:5, Galatians 1:15)
It's pretty cool to look at a snowflake under a microscope. It’s intricate and beautiful, shaped by the conditions it passes through, like moisture, temperature, pressure, etc. In the same way, the experiences that you go through shape who you are and contribute to your unique purpose. In Ephesians 2:10, we’re reminded, “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Just like snowflakes form through a combination of factors, your life experiences—both the highs and lows—are part of what makes you, you. Embrace those moments, knowing they’re all part of your journey, part of the story that God is writing for you.
On those days when you’re questioning your place or purpose, remember this: God isn’t done with you! He didn’t bring you this far to leave you this far. What He starts, He finishes. He will fulfill His purpose for you. (Psalm 57:2) He loves you forever, and He won’t give up on the work of His hands. (Psalm 138:8)
When a snowflake lands, it adds to the beauty of the world around it and brings joy. Your purpose works the same way! Your presence brings something beautiful into the lives of others. Just like that one-of-a-kind snowflake, you’re here for a reason, and your life is a precious gift filled with purpose!
