Below is an excerpt of a Dr. David Jeremiah devotion that I thought was really good & want to share with others.
Just As You Are
Know that the Lord, He is God; it is He who has made us, and not we
ourselves; we are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Psalm 100:3

Psalm 139:13-16
A proud grandmother was admiring the way her four-year-old granddaughter
had dressed herself--until she got to the feet. "Why, honey," the
grandmother said gently, "I think you've put your shoes on the wrong
feet." The little girl looked down at her feet and then up at her
grandmother. "But, Grandma, these are the only feet I've got!"
In her misunderstanding, the little girl made an important point, one
that modern, image-conscious people would do well to remember: The
features God has given us are the only ones we've got! It's easy today
to become dissatisfied with who we are and what we have been given: our
looks, our intelligence, our skills and talents, our personality, our
physical build. But the Bible says we are the handiwork of God--that He
shaped us in our mother's womb. A large part of becoming comfortable "in
our own skin" is recognizing that we are unique in God's sight. We are
one-of-a-kind people, created to accomplish for Him what only we can.
Consider taking stock of who you are and thanking God for His perfect
wisdom in creating you to be one-of-a-kind.
He who is not contented with what he has would not be contented with
what he would like to have.
