you are unique
you are gifted
you are fearfully and wonderfully made
look in the mirror
what do you see
a mask of deception
over who you really are
god knit you together
he formed everything about you
i'm not just talking your physical appearance
i'm talking your soul
your inner being
your personality
what you think is funny
what you think is sad
2 things i guarantee you
someone will always be:
smarter than you
faster than you
more talented than you
prettier than you
wealthier than you
but that doesn't overshadow the fact
that you are talented
you are pretty
you are fast
you are wealthy
all this world can come up with is comparisons
ITS ALL FREAKING RELATIVE
someone once said "...in the eye of the beholder"
damn straight
hold onto the truth
THE TRUTH I SAID
he knows the hairs on your head
he formed you for a unique purpose
UNIQUE PURPOSE
not everyone will call your name
so what
not everyone will see your beauty
so what
not everyone will be changed because of you
but some will
some will
some will
isn't that enough
isn't that worth it
put your comparison compass
back in your pocket
and walk the terrain set before you
he loves
he guides
he provides
don't sell him short of all he deserves
and that is you

thanks for this
"And gosh darn it, people like me."
I'd be interested in the back story to this blog post. It also comes at a really interesting time for me...you know, those weeks when God seems to be saying the exact same thing to you through the mouths of all your friends and pastors...and billboards you drive by...and cheesy love songs on "The Kost"...and the policewoman giving you a speeding ticket...and the doctor giving you a pelvic exam...
okay, I'm done.
PS "comparison compass" = AWESOME
I was thinking that the girl this was (probably) wrote about is pretty special and lucky!
