Worth: what is man that You are mindful of him?

Worth.  As soon as I read this word, my mind searches back to a psalm I recently pondered.  Yes, Psalm 8 – O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!  And there it is…one of the verses…  What is man that You are mindful of him?Winter at FB 2015

This psalm reminds us of the majesty of our God; He is the Creator of the stars, the moon, the sun – all the works of His fingers.  Truly all of Creation is the work of His Majestic imagination!  And yet, the psalmist asks a great question…  What is man that You are mindful of him?

The answer:  We are His creation.  Genesis 1 and 2 – we are created in God’s image.  And because He created each one of us according to His divine imagination and because of His desire to create community for fellowship with His creation – we have WORTH.  Every person, psalm 139, YOU – fearfully and wonderfully made, knit together in your mother’s womb – uniquely designed, purposely crafted on purpose in the image of God for a purpose to be fulfilled through your unique life.Besserat and children

God created you.  God created me.  And because we are made in His image, we have WORTH!

I am an avid follower of Jesus. I have been since my early twenties when I met Him personally and received dramatic healing in my body and mind. After many years of marriage and raising sons into the teen years, I was challenged to explore the duplicity of my spoken faith followed up by fearful actions. I received the challenge presented by both of my sons. They love me and so they dared to confront me with the truth. Chips off my proverbial block! I determined then {more than a decade ago} to overcome fear with faith that was more than words. In my late 40's I made a decision to leave the desert wandering behind and set out to pursue the abundant life Jesus promised His disciples. I am a tentmaker {actually a reupholsterer} by day, which helps to support the call God has on my life to serve Him in my community. I thoroughly enjoy my work. Repairing and restoring throw-away furniture is a fulfilling creative outlet. More so, my Cheer House Repair and Restore business opens the door for me to interact with my community. My passion is to walk so closely to Jesus that others want to know Him too. I love to introduce women to Him as we walk, talk, and work together hand in hand through everyday life. Nothing thrills me more than to watch someone fall so in love with Jesus through His word and conversation; learning to trust His heart and receive His great love! I have been married to my dear man for over 30 rollercoaster years. We're simply thrilled that our latter days are more joyful and purposeful than our first. Together we have two - grown young men on their own journeys. Additionally, we share our home with 3 lively rescue pups. I look forward to having you join me on this journey of faith... Bold feet, humble heart Psalm 131 ~ Lisa
