God saw all that he had made, and it was very good indeed. —Genesis 1:31
Most of us have learned (the hard way!) that you need to follow the instructions if you want to put things together right. The designer of a product is the one who knows that product best. They know why and how it’s made, how to put it together, and how it’s supposed to work.
The same principle applies to our lives. Our Creator knows us best. He’s the One who knows how and why He created us male and female. As the Designer, He knows the proper way to order and fit together our lives and relationships—according to their intended design.
Perhaps you’ve tried to build your life on your own, without the guidance of your Designer, and the result is chaos. Maybe it’s time to go back over the pattern to find out what your womanhood or manhood is all about. The good news is that Jesus can change you, rearrange the pieces of your life, and put things together the way He intended so your life can become a thing of beauty and usefulness.
