You are Sew Different

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29 11-13

After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen [and] establish you. 1 Peter 5:10 (NASB)

Have you ever wondered why you are so different? Ever wondered if the little things that you do really make up your entire personality? God created you to be a very unique person serving a very special job. He has made available to you a blanket of good and bad experiences to help you learn and a wide variety of people to influence you (good and bad). Take some time to write down some moments in your life that stand out to you. Think back from when you were a child to even the moments last week. Does anything jump out at you that may explain why you do things a certain way or why you may deal with someone different than another or situations, ever wonder about your demeanor in general. Are you thankful for who you are? You should be, even if you are dealing with a tough situation or maybe things are really great for you right now; it is all transforming to your life. The experiences you go through whether positive or negative will shape who you are. Of course, I must add that we are not perfect and must continue to want to grow in God's Word and change allow Him to mold us into an even better person. God has knitted your life together one stitch at a time, to make you different. You are a precious piece of art to Him. Know this and go in peace, that every trial and tough time you have will make you an even better person as you hold on to the truth and be transformed.
A good friend once reminded me this great quote that you can also take with you:
"Never forget in the dark what God told you in the light"!
