The You Only You Can Be

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.
Psalms 139:13

Do you realize how unique you are? DNA molecules can unite in an infinite number of ways. The number is 10 to the 2,400,000,000th power. That number is the likelihood that you will ever find somebody exactly like you. If you were to write out that number with each zero being one inch wide, you would need a strip of paper 37,000 miles long. To put this in perspective, all the particles in the universe are probably less than 10 with 76 zeros behind it - far less than the possibilities of your DNA! Your uniqueness is a scientific fact. When God made you He broke the mold. There has never been, and never will be, anybody exactly like you. So, why did God make each of us so unique? Because He loves variety! Just look around - introverts and extroverts, thinkers and feelers, team players and individuals, those who love routine and those who love variety. There is no right or wrong temperament for serving in God’s kingdom; we need all kinds of personalities to balance us, give us flavor, and get the job done! Your personality will affect how and where you serve God best. Smart woodworkers work with the grain, not against it. When we are forced to serve in a manner that is out of character for us it creates tension, requires extra effort, and usually produces poor results. God made you to be you! When you are you it not only blesses His family, it blesses you too. That is because it feels good to do what God made you to do.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, Thank you for making only one of me – others thank you also! Now let me serve you in the unique way only I can. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
