There is a glory and beauty of the sun, another glory of the moon, and yet another glory of the stars, and one star differs from another in glory and brilliance. (1 Corinthians 15:41)

God created us all uniquely different. Like the sun, the moon, and the stars, God made us to be different, and He has done it on purpose. Each of us has an individual destiny, and we are all part of God’s overall plan.

Be secure in your uniqueness, knowing that God loves you and took great care in creating you. We never have to be threatened by the abilities of others. We can be free to love and accept ourselves and one another without feeling pressure to compare or compete.

If we attempt to be just like someone else, not only do we lose ourselves, but we question God’s plan. God wants you to joyfully run your race; He doesn’t want you feeling pressured to run someone else’s race or fit into everyone else’s plans. Different is more than okay; it is God’s purpose for your life.

You were fearfully and wonderfully made by the Creator of the universe. Never question your worth. You are special and unique in his sight.
