Always Remember, when God made you, He did so with a purpose and a plan.
He saw all of your days before you lived one of them and placed over you the covering of His protective love. He has allowed nothing to come into your life that has not first been screened through that love. His hand has remained upon you to this very day. He calls you by name. You are His beloved child…the apple of His eye… the delight of His heart.
Today you are in the exact place He wants you to be, and tomorrow He will be with you as He has always been – in goodness, in kindness, in faithfulness.
Uniqueness emerges when you become intentional about your idiosyncrasies. Steven furtick
idiosyncrasies – a behavioural attribute that is distinctive and peculiar to an individual
Each of us has been given a God given personality – a God given style of living.
You are you. the only YOU there is. God has wired and designed you in a particular way to fulfil a particular purpose. only YOU can do that and BE that. it takes a YOU to fill that position. accept WHO God has made you to be – deal with the issues and grow – but recognize that God has fashioned and purposed you. Relax into who you are. Be unique. God doesn’t need carbon copies of billy graham, kim walker smith, joyce meyer, toby mac etc. He created THEM to be them.
Psalm 139
You have searched me, LORD,
and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongue
you, LORD, know it completely.
5 You hem me in behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.
7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,”
12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand—
when I awake, I am still with you.
Believing God for the impossible begins with seeing the invisible – understanding what He wants to accomplish through YOU.

Love it. I posted something very similar a while back. We are an expression of who God is that only we can show the world. I like the Steven Furtick quote too. My wife and I were just discussing this last night referencing King Saul trying to put his armor on David. David couldn’t wear it because it didn’t fit. Neither can we try to copy what someone else is doing or being. It doesn’t fit and it won’t work.
