You Are You--Nique

God made you you-nique!

One of the greatest joys in life is finding out who God made you to be, with all the personality quirks, and loving it. Often when we arrive at adulthood, we abandon parts of who we are and relegate then to the attic of our mind. I think when we do that, we lose a little piece of ourselves.

You might be a high-heels girl or a flip-flop woman. You might love yourself in dresses or only feel at home in jeans. Too often as we grow, we conform too much. Where we lose the wonder of who we are, though, is when we conform just to be like others because we are afraid to be different. Different is good!

You can't be your hero, your parent, or your big brother. You might imitate their golf swing or hair style, but you can't be them. You can only be you. All you have to give is what you've been given to give. Concentrate on who you are and what you have.

God never called you to be anyone other than you. But he does call on you to be the best you you can be. Galatians 6:4-5 says, "Don't compare yourself with others. Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life."

In Him,
