They are all over the internet and if you search the words "People of Walmart" you will find loads of pictures of people whose fashion sense and clothing etiquette are not quite up to par with the standards of society. We look at the pictures and laugh and cringe, and say "what were they thinking." We've all had those moments, we've possibly done it in person. We look at the outward and had our private laugh and are slightly encouraged about our own looks, at least we aren't that bad.
The thing that we often forget as we look and laugh that they are people just like us. Now I know you all want to throw things at me, and say "Never!" It's true, we aren't any better then anyone else. You can't say what is going on in their lives.
Ephesians 2:10 For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
We are God's handiwork, that does not apply to just the pretty people on the outside. Each and every person falls into this category. Not just the pretty people who have it all together on the outside. It's the people of Walmart, it's the homeless man on the street, it's each and every person. When you think about how God made us as his Masterpiece, His creation that is most highly esteemed over everything else it's nearly unbelievable.
The Grand Canyon, one of the seven wonders of the world, people stop and take pictures of it. They come from miles around just to see this beauty. A sunset, painted with colors that don't exist any where else, we take pictures and try to capture the beauty in paintings. The night sky with the moon shining radiantly, and the stars in their place in the sky, you can't capture that on camera. These things of beauty and wonder, they do not compare to the handiwork that God put into each person.
Our value and our worth is so much more then this things, these moments of beauty are fleeting. The beauty of creation around does not amount to what God created in us. How amazing is that, the next time you stop to take a picture of a beautiful landscape or something awe inspiring and beautiful, turn the camera around, take that selfie. No matter what you look like or what category you fall into according to society, you are beautiful. You are a Masterpiece, a handiwork of God, worth so much more then we could imagine.
