UNIQUE

On the sidewalk was a lone leaf.  It was a vibrant red unlike the other leaves lingering in the air and on the trees.  I thought to myself, “What beauty this leaf is sharing by lying on the sidewalk all alone against the white concrete.”  Even though the temperature was cold just seeing the brilliant leaf brought warmth to my body.

Are you a brown withered leaf on a tree with all the others or are you the unique vibrant leaf?  Are you hanging onto the limb or are you flying through the air landing on the sidewalk sharing your colors with others?

It is difficult to disconnect from the norm.  It is hard to not be part of the group, but at times this is what the Lord wants us to do.  He wants us to be the vibrant leaf on the sidewalk sharing His love and His word with others. 

God created each of us uniquely. 

You are one of a kind.  He created each of us and gave us each specific gifts and talents that we are to share with others.  If you are saying you don’t have a gift or a talent you are wrong.  We each have something to share we just have to find it. 

There are four things that Joyce Meyer wrote in an article “ENJOYING WHO GOD CREATED YOU TO BE.”

1.       Speak good things about yourself

2.       Avoid comparing yourself with other women

3.       Focus on your potential instead of your limitations

4.       Learn to cope with criticism

Pray for the Lord to guide you and lead you to be the unique you, the you He created you to be. Be the unique you that is led by the Holy Spirit.  Focus on your potential instead of feeling defeated.  Tell yourself, "I was fearfully and wonderfully made by the creator.  He wants me to be vibrant and unique.  I am perfect and complete because of the Him.”

God is thrilled that He created you.  You are a unique one of a kind!
