Only YOU are YOU

Okay…

I want you to consider a smart phone and all of its features and capabilities. In partnership with artificial intelligence, a smart phone can do just about anything. One can use it to accomplish almost any task. However, while it can connect you to third parties who can help satiate physical hunger, can you speak to your AI chat and get the phone to zap you a meal? In realizing your phone cannot cook for you, would you deem it worthless? Do you feel any differently about your device? Or have you, in full rationality, considered that it just was not made to do that? This is what we look like to God when we assess the gifts of others to bring shame to ourselves. This is the futility of comparison.

You prefer the features of another person. You were not made to look like that.

You prefer the skills of another person. You were not built to perform in this sense.

You prefer the disposition of someone else. You were not meant to carry yourself in that way.

You must ask the person who created you what all features, skills, strengths, weaknesses, and demeanors were meant to accomplish. You must ask your creator to figure out the power that lies in you being YOU. You must ask your creator who you are to make sense of why you are the way that you are. Have you stopped to do that lately?

Too many of us are trying to fit ourselves in odd spaces. Consider a spoon. Would you continuously use a spoon to slice bread? Even if you were so daring, you’d quickly find that while it may get the job done it won’t get it done well. Would you loathe the design of all spoons thereafter? or would you resolve to use them for the occasions for which they were made? I’ll tell you one thing, that knife in all of its sleekness is utterly useless when one desires to sample the broth of a soup or gravy of a stewed meat.

I challenge you. Go to your creator. Ask Him why you are the way you are what plans he has for you. After he affords His revelation, walk confidently and boldly in all that you are as DEFINED by GOD.

Remember, He only made one you. It is your job to figure out why.

I love you, but Jesus loves you more than you know.

With continuous love and prayers,

Lovey
