Why do we spend so much time comparing ourselves with others-family members, friends, co-workers/bosses, church members, entertainers, etc? We allow our own expectations and those from others to confine and often define us. We need to trust God and accept that He created us purposely for a reason. Our unique personality and talents are all tools to accomplish God's plan for us. What we see as flaws, He designed as potential. God's design of you/me is intentional-we are specially made with purpose. There is a song by Howard Jones I like, “Specialty”-part of the chorus says this: ‘spend your time worrying about what you could have been, can’t you like being who you are.’ Wow! I think we all have fallen prey to that thinking. Do we trust enough to simply be who we are(that specialty God made us) and embrace what we can offer through God. The challenge today is to release the expectations we ,or others ,have placed on ourselves and explore God's amazing plan. Hopefully to discover that everyone has many great life contributions to offer. Blessings in your pursuit…….TO
