Uniqueness

I am a unique individual. But so are you. There is only one of each of us. We are like snowflakes, no two are alike.

I have strengths and weaknesses. I also have some peculiarities. Some I like and some I don’t. Some other people like and some they don’t. Sometimes I boast of my strengths, only to be humbled by circumstances or other people. Sometimes I am ashamed of my weaknesses.

Am I content with my weaknesses? Hardly, I want to eliminate them and turn them into strengths. But no matter how hard I try, I don’t seem to make progress. Willpower doesn’t seem to be enough. I need help to become the person I want to be. Where does this help come from?

For me the only help I can find and the only help I need is found in Jesus. Romans 12:2 says, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” To be transformed into the man I want to be I need to be renewed by understanding God’s will and allow him to change me.
