We are all different. Like the sun, the moon, and the stars, God has created us to be different from one another,and He has done it on purpose. Each of us meets a need, and we are all part of God's overall plan. When westruggle to be like others, we lose ourselves, and we grieve the Holy Spirit. God wants us to fit into His plan,not to feel pressured trying to fit into everyone else's plans. It is all right to be different.We are all born with different temperaments, different physical features, different fingerprints, different gifts and abilities.Our goal should be to find out what we individually are supposed to be, and then succeed at being that.Romans 12 teaches us to give ourselves to our gift. We are to find out what we are good at and then throw ourselves wholeheartedly into it.We should be free to love and accept ourselves and one another without feeling pressure to compare or compete. Secure people who know God loves them and has a plan for them are not threatened by the abilities of others. They enjoy what other people can do, and they enjoy what they can do.God gave you gifts and wants you to focus on your potential instead of your limitations.One of my gifts, I believe the Lord gave me is as an Exhorter....I love to encourage and inspire and motivate.....is why I like to write and blog....whether it is from me or someone else.(Excerpt - Being the Person God Made You To Be - Joyce Meyer)Blessings AbunDantly IDC Family - Denise
