We Are Like Snowflakes

A few days ago, I decided to go on a walk in the snow. I don’t know if you have snow where you live or if you have ever seen snow, but if you can, close your eyes for a second and imagine being surrounded by snowflakes. Watch the flakes fall down around you as they land on your head and shoulders. Feel the crisp cool air and the lingering touch of snowflakes on your skin. Now that you are in a similar mindset as my own, I hope this analogy makes sense.

As I looked around at the snowflakes, I tried focusing on each individual. I recalled learning that each snowflake is different and that reminded me of Psalm 139:13-14 (NLT) which says, “You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous- how well I know it.”

Each snowflake is unique and different just as we are each unique. Do you know how many snowflakes that is? Every snowflake from the beginning of time to the end of time, to the ends of the earth; there has never been a snowflake that has been replicated. That is a lot of precise planning on Gods part. But He does the same for us. He delicately made us in our mothers womb so that we would each be different. God cares about us so much that He makes us all unique. You are different from anyone else on the face of the earth.

Snowflakes are just one reminder of how much God cares for us. There are so many reminders in life if we just take the time to notice. This month I’ll go into other ways we can recognize how wonderfully complex God created us to be.
