“The righteous will flourish like a palm tree… they all
flourish in the courts of our God.” (Psalm 92:12-13)
As God helps you grow, you will change, but you will
always be you. An acorn can grow into an
oak tree, but it cannot become a rose bush.
It can be a healthy oak or can be a stunted oak -- but it won’t be a
shrub. You will always be you -- a
growing, healthy you or a languishing you -- but God did not create you to be
anybody else. He pre-wired your
temperament. He determined your natural
gifts and talents. He made you to feel
certain passions and desires. He planned
your body and mind. Your uniqueness is
God-designed.
