The sun is glorious in one way, the moon is glorious in another way, and the stars are glorious in their own distinctive way; for one star differs from and surpasses another in its beauty and brilliance. 1 Corinthians 15:41
As our two sons continue to grow up (way too fast, I might add), the differences between him and his older brother are astounding. For instance, Elliott, while a great athlete on his terms, is into music much the way I was at his age. Elijah, on the other hand, likes music, but is a natural athlete, just like my younger sister was. Elliott who celebrates his 17th birthday today, still only enjoys vanilla ice cream just like his mother; Elijah, on the other hand, will eat any flavor; but prefers chocolate ice cream, just like me. Point in case, we are each uniquely made and thankfully created by God to be different from one another.
To truly live the lives God intended us to live, we are to accept who we are as individuals and fit into His great plan rather than comparing ourselves with others and trying to fit into everyone else's plans.
Each of has been uniquely made to fill a need and we are ALL part of God's master plan. Make it a personal goal of yours to find out what you are individually supposed to be and then succeed at being yourself. It's okay to be different, in fact, God made you that way!
