For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function. —ROMANS 12:4 ESV
We are all unique, just as each part of our physical body is unique and has a unique function. We all look different, and we have different temperaments, abilities, and talents. Our enemy, Satan, often tries to make us feel that something is wrong with us if we are not like people around us, but that is absolutely not true. God has uniquely created each of us with His own hand for a special purpose, and we need to embrace who we are and not try to be like someone else. Although other people may set good examples that we want to follow, it’s a big mistake to reject ourselves and try to be someone other than who we are. God’s Word clearly says that He gives each of us different abilities and that we are to use them (Romans 12:6). We cannot be someone else, and trying to do so only frustrates us. I encourage you not to compare yourself with other people, but to be fully your own special, unique self.
“Father, thank You for making me unique. Help me use my abilities to glorify You and be a blessing to others. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
