Snowflakes

Many people love snow. Others not so much! Some people love sledding, ice skating, tubing, snowboarding, skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and more. Others dread the trouble snow often causes—dangerous road conditions, canceled travel plans, power outages, etc. But snowflakes are as varied and unique as people’s opinions of them. And it’s the same with us. No two snowflakes or humans are exactly alike. God has created each person to be unique and original. We are created in His image (Genesis 1:27). Everyone has their own personality and talents. While we do live in a broken world, being made in God’s image means—so long as we are not accepting sin—we can celebrate people’s unique personality traits, talents, and quirks. So, the next time you see a snowflake, picture what it looks like under a microscope: multi-sided and made of as many as two hundred ice crystals. It may look like every other snowflake from a distance, but it is completely different, a miracle of God’s creation. And you are too. • Christine Collier • What unique physical characteristics has God created you with? What talents do you have? • How do these traits give glory to God as the Creator? • Read Psalm 104. How do other parts of creation glorify God? I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. Psalm 139:14 (NKJV)
