Each one is beautiful!

SOAP - Each one is beautiful!

Scripture
1 Corinthians 15:39-41 All flesh is not the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another. There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another. The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.

Observation
Ok, I confess, I'm not entirely sure what Paul was trying to explain here. :-)

Application
For me, this scripture makes me think of the beauty of all of God's creation. No two people are the same. Each one is beautiful. We live in a beautiful part of the world. We are surrounded in nature by beauty. And it all reminds me of God and how awesome he is.

Prayer
Dear Lord, I pray that you would help me appreciate the unique beauty of all of your creation, all the people who's paths I cross in life. Each one is beautiful and as John said a few weeks back, each one is your masterpiece. Lord it seems difficult to tell people about your amazing love and tell people that they are beautiful, they are your masterpiece... when we don't treat them that way. Lord help me see how I should treat the people I cross paths with everyday and also my loved ones. Help me help them see that they are all beautiful. :-) Thank you Lord, Amen.
