I love people! They amuse me. They intrigue me. The are all all together alike and at the same time all together different. God loves people more than I do. He made each of them differently. Abraham Lincoln is quoted as saying this: “God must love the common man, he made so many of them.”
Someone else said, "You are unique... just like everyone else!"
The Psalmist said this in Psalm 139:13-14.
For you (LORD) created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
Just because the Bible says this does not mean that I (or you... or we) feel this way. When was the last time that you looked in the mirror and said, "Yay God!?" No, most of us are more likely to see what we do not like about ourselves. It goes beyond physical appearances. (If you don't yet "get this," one day you will.)
So, I and millions or billions of others bemoan the reality of who we are. I want to be great at everything but there are some things that I really stink at. God made me like that. I can do some things quite easily while other things... I just don't get. I want to say, "I'm just not cut out for this!"
I am right. I am not meant to be everything to everyone. I am not a Renaissance man. I am designed to do what I have been made to do.To sit back and dream of what I would love to be but can't, only strangles my mission in being all that God has made me to be.
All alone, I am like a solitary puzzle piece. There is no story, no greater purpose and no apparent significance. That is why I need other people; Those strange, not like me or anyone else types.
We are a piece of the puzzle. Yes, you may not be cut out for "this" BUT you are cut out for something. Find out what it is and then connect with the rest of the pieces. Enjoy it and you might find yourself agreeing with the psalmist and saying, "I am fearfully and wonderfully made!"
