Greetings:
Look around where you work, in the town or neighborhood where you live, among your relatives, and in the church you attend.
What do you see?
You see a lot of individuals who are different and unique. This didn't happen just by accident.
God created us with our own unique physical traits, personalities, character, temperaments, talents and abilities.
Even in what we call identical twins, there are differences.
We each have our own unique identifying feature that's called a fingerprint. There are no two of them the same.
God created us different for a reason to fill a need in his overall plan.
Look to the skies on the next clear day and night.
You see a sun, a moon and many different stars.
None of the stars are the same.
In 1 Corinthians 15:41 in the Amplified Bible we read, “The sun is glorious in one way, the moon is glorious in another way, and the stars are glorious in their own [distinctive] way; for one star differs from and surpasses another in its beauty and brilliance.”
As Christians, let it be each of our goals to find our individual role and place in God's plan. When we struggle to be like others, we lose our identity, our uniqueness our individuality that our Creator intended for each of us.
Look at a tree. It has many branches. Each branch is different and unique in size and structure but are attached to a central trunk that bears nourishment from the roots and promotes grow in each of those branches.
Let God be our tree trunk, providing us with spiritual food to promote our spiritual growth and maturity.
Let us be satisfied that we are different.
But in our state of being unique individuals, we can learn our role, our purpose, our ministry in service to God as one body.
Be blessed.
