When people believe in themselves they have the first secret of success. ~Norman Vincent Peale
You are a Divine Masterpiece!
Do you ever catch yourself thinking that you are no good, or that you are just an ordinary person with nothing to be proud of? Well, let me tell you that in fact you are most unique and special!
Yes, I'm talking about that wondrous miracle that is YOU. And I'm just even simply talking about your human body. You are a marvellous machine that no robot could ever replicate, no matter who claims otherwise. Why? Because no robot can ever have a soul and that divine spark that runs it.
You've lived in your physical body for a long time, you hardly give you body a second thought. You just presume that it will work and do its job each time you wake up in the morning to start your day.
When we see a newborn baby or a pregnant woman, or a mother and child, we may be reminded of the miraculous process of conception, gestation and birth.
As Above So Below
Scientist say that the human body consists of approximately one hundred trillion cells, about one thousand cells for every bright star in the Milky Way.
Just as an aside, this is more than the amount of debt in terms of US$!
- US$100 dollar bills stacked up to US$15 trillion.
When you think that all these cells started with the one-celled fertilized ovum and ending up with cells more numerous than the stars in the Milky Way - that's beyond amazing!
What's even more amazing is how all these replicating cells have the supreme intelligence to differentiate into 250 types of cells, able to organise themselves into a stomach, a brain, skin, teeth, intestines, hair, heart, lungs and other intricately designated organs with infinite and precise intelligence.
"The human brain is ‘ . . .the most complex and orderly arrangement of matter in the universe’." Isaac Asimov
It is not my intention to give a scientific treatise as to the marvelous fine-tuned "machinery" that is the human body - it would fill a whole library. There are enough scholarly resources available able to do that with more authority than I.
My intention here is simply to rekindle that awe that I think we ought to have about this creation called the human being and restore reverence for life.
Is Your Heart Open?
"He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed."
Albert Einstein
We have become smug and blasé about the miracle of creation that we've almost lost the capacity to be amazed. We've become to 'old' and jaded and miss out on the childlike wonder of life and don't give enough gratitude to God for it.
We are quick to gasp in awe at the inventions and creations by man, but rarely give credit to the higher power that created man.
Even worse, we see so much violence against life. Life has become so cheap and disposable these days. It's my hope that if we remind ourselves of the preciousness that each life is, and how each one is created with such meaningful intention and elaborate design, that we must each have been created uniquely for a special purpose, we would more stalwartly protect and defend life.
This short, moving video vividly depicts the beauty, marvel and sacredness of life - your life. Hopefully, this will impel you not only to treasure it, but to give each soul wanting to be born, the same opportunity for life as you had.
