Standing Alone

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. Psalms 139:14

I took my children to the park today and as we walked on one of the trails I could not take my eyes off of the tall trees that stood before me. As I stared at these unmovable giants I noticed that none of the trees were the same. It was a cluster of different types of trees that had different qualities but all added to the beauty of the park. As we continued to walk I asked God if You created all these trees with different qualities but their differences can bring such beauty, Why don't we as humans love the differences in each other?

We are not created to look like anyone else. We are created to stand out. Our differences are beautiful in God's eyes. He does not want our lives to blend in but rather our differences to reflect His beauty to the world. In life we find that those that are different are treated as outcasts. But we are uniquely made to shine God's beauty through our differences. Let us Stand Alone, no one can be us and we can not be anyone else. We have to become great at being ourselves. Stop looking at the images of others and find the image of God that dwells in you. Whatever body type, gender, race, personality, gift, talent, weakness you have remember that God created you to be you. God loves who He created and when we start living according to His plan for us we will love ourselves also. Don't give up on yourself, God has planted your life that you may stand alone in His greatness. God bless you.
