You are still a child of God. You are fearfully and wonderfully made, exactly the way God wanted you. My spouse, Jill, and I constructed a small bird sanctuary in our back yard this past spring. We placed several types of bird feeders and a bird bath in an small area off our back porch. As I watched the birds grow accustomed to what we had placed there for their feeding, I grew intrigued at the different approaches the birds would take.
Some birds are very bold, stay on a feeder for a long time and eat a lot.
Some birds sit on the fence at a safe distance, swoop in and take a quick bite, and then retreat to the safety of the fence for a few more minutes. Some birds want to be on a feeder alone. They leave as soon as another bird comes along. When our two dogs are outside, most of the birds retreat, but a few are steadfast enough to hang in there even when the dogs are just a few feet away. What a parallel to how we humans decide to feed our spiritual needs.
