Your life is unique.
The last couple of weeks I have been reflecting on some challenges that we have faced. Nothing that any of you haven’t found yourselves in, but challenges nonetheless. Yet, I found myself reflexively thinking as I look at my oldest son cheerfully running around the house singing, knowing that he too will face challenges. Instead of meddling in the murky waters of pessimism because of an obstacle, I chose to smile, knowing that in the midst of obstacles, God is present - as I will be for my two boys. As I look at my boys, who I love more than life itself, I found myself seeing life through their lenses, as maybe God does.
As God is there for me, I will be there for my boys as they run through life’s maze…
to encourage them…
to help pick them up when they fall…
to walk them through painful moments…
to celebrate high moments in life…
to love them when they have made a mistake…
to embrace them when they have been hurt…
and to celebrate their uniqueness as God does.
3 Things to remember:
1.) We have a purpose in life
2.) We have been made with a distinctive touch
3.) In the vastness of God’s creation, your birth and your reach IS something unique
Celebrate life, in the midst of curve balls. Embrace God’s unwavering grace.
In the end, the very fabric of who you are and who you are becoming is wrapped up in the reality that YOU ARE UNIQUE.
