YOUR GOD-DESIGNED UNIQUENESS

“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. 

-- John Ortberg in The Me I Want to Be
