Moments of Faith Devotional April 30, 2024 by Prophet Frank Udoh

Title: You Are Perfect. 

Message:

In a world that often measures worth by external standards, it’s easy to feel inadequate or flawed. However, as believers, we find our true identity and value in God’s unconditional love. In this devotional, we explore the profound truth that in God’s eyes, we are perfect – not because of our own merits, but because of His grace and mercy.

Scripture Reading: Psalm 139:13-14 (NIV) “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”

Reflection: The psalmist David beautifully expresses the truth of our inherent value and worth in God’s eyes. From the moment of conception, God intricately designed and formed each of us with care and purpose. We are not the product of chance or random evolution, but the deliberate handiwork of a loving Creator.

Despite our flaws and imperfections, God sees us as fearfully and wonderfully made. He looks beyond our outward appearance and sees the beauty of our hearts. Our value is not determined by our achievements, appearance, or status, but by the fact that we are His beloved children, created in His image.

The concept of being “perfect” in God’s eyes does not mean we are without flaws or mistakes. Rather, it speaks to the completeness and wholeness we find in His love and grace. In Christ, we are made perfect through His sacrifice on the cross, where He paid the price for our sins and restored us to a right relationship with God.

As we embrace the truth of our identity in Christ, we are set free from the bondage of insecurity and self-doubt. We no longer need to strive for acceptance or validation from the world, for we are already accepted and loved by our Heavenly Father.

Today, let us meditate on the truth that we are perfect in God’s eyes. May we find comfort and confidence in His unconditional love, knowing that we are fearfully and wonderfully made, and that His grace is more than sufficient for us.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank you for creating me in Your image and loving me unconditionally. Help me to see myself as You see me – fearfully and wonderfully made. May I find my worth and identity in You alone, and may Your love fill me with confidence and peace. In Jesus’ name, amen.
