Just Right

He doesn’t make things wrong. He makes things right. And that includes you. Yes you. He created you right. Just right.

The Creator of the universe, the One Who hung the stars in place and named each one of them (Psalm 147:4). The One Who placed the hairs on your head and counted every one of them (Matthew 10:30). The One Who died upon the cross and knew the cost and the depth and the sacrifice of every chain He was to take the weight of, each one of them (Isaiah 53:6). He is the One Who intricately created you, just right (Psalm 139:15). In love, with much care, He molded and shaped and made you just so; He created you. Just right.

For He doesn’t make things wrong. Never.

The God of the universe, the One Who is holy and righteous and perfect. He is good. And everything He does, everything He did, everything He makes, everything He made, is good. Everything is VERY good (Genesis 1:31).

Because He makes things right. Always. Right from the start of creation. Good. Right from the palm of His hands. Good. All things made right. And good. Do not forget. Because that includes you.

It was sin that got in the way. It was sin that made wrong what God made right. That made bad what He made good.

And you were born into that sin. You were. Because you are hopeless, on your own. You are. So you need Him to make you right again. You do.

For God is about making things right, not wrong. And the sin that is wrong in you, He hates. Because it separates you from Him. Because it brings death to you, not life.

"For God so loved the world [that’s you!], that he gave his only Son, ....” - John 3:16

And again,

“... God loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” - 1 John 4:10

And again,

“... Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” - Ephesians 5:2

Because He is in the work of making things right. Again. And that includes you. Do not forget. So that,

“... whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” - John 3:16

"Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved..." - Acts 16:31

Yes, believe, so you can say, with all the Saints,

“I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” - Galatians 2:20

You, made right, through faith in Christ! He is the only Way to be made right.

“[To] Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth, to him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood ...to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.” - Revelation 1:5-6

Amen!
