What is DNA?
Let’s start off by stating its definition: Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms. The main role of DNA molecules is the long-term storage of information. DNA is often compared to a set of blueprints, since it contains the instructions needed to construct other components of cells, it is the carrier of genetic information. (Excerpt taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dna)
At the end of the day, DNA is who you are and what you’re made of. As we go about our daily lives, no matter where that may be, we can see that all people are made different. Some are tall, short, dark skinned, or light skinned, etc. Everywhere we look there is uniqueness in our midst. There is a joke that says, “GOD has a sense of humor, He created you!” Genesis 1:27 states:”God created human beings; He created them godlike, reflecting God’s nature.” God created us in His image, which means no duplicates. If you stop to think about it, twins don’t even have the same DNA. They may look the same on the outside but on the inside they are two totally different people. Romans 8:29 states: “God knew what He was doing from the very beginning. He decided from the outset to shape the lives of those who love Him along the same lines as the life of His Son.” We were created to love Him!
I remember growing up my mother always telling me, “You are just like your father.” As I sit here writing, I am able to think of a few things I have in common with him, but I am also able think of a lot more things that I don’t have in common with him. In my mind this has nothing to do with my DNA but more to do with my up bringing and being around him. You are not a person that was assembled in the dark, but instead you we’re created to be just who you are, one of a kind. I know that there are some things that need fixing (this is true of myself), but when we give those things up to Christ and believe that He can make those changes, there is nothing we should have to worry about. “God loves YOU so much that He would rather die than to live without YOU!”
