Different.

Have you ever felt different?

There's no one else in the world that is exactly like you. You are you. God made us this way so that we can be unique. Every single person has a different thinking yet we still bond so well together.
I have this friend and we are complete opposites and yet i can call him my brother. I don't know how God does it. It's just amazing. How we can bond with others so easily and glorify Him together.

Being yourself is what God wants us to do. Putting on a 'mask' while you're around something is just ridiculous. I often see people at school who act differently when they're around their friends then when they're around me. They may seem like they don't belong so that's why they act differently but if you think that you have to act like someone else then, those people aren't right for you.

God makes us each differently so live out who you really are.

Pebble.

I'm pretty sure you've seen a rock or pebble before. It's impossible to find 2 of the same one. They're all unique. There are always dents on the rock and the dents are made by other rocks rubbing onto each other.

Imagine yourself holding the pebble in your hand. God holds you in the warmth of his hand, turning you gently, searching your surface for flaws and rough places. We have our struggles that block us from continuing our path with God. Talking to God is the best way to get rid of those struggles and challenges. He's always there for us.

Still ponds don't make pebbles. It takes moving water, like a river or the sea. The water takes the rock on a journey and wears it smooth by rubbing it against other rocks.

How far have you traveled in the water of the Spirit?

Sometimes we fear that God will make us all into the same shape. No two are the same.

Am I Just Another Person?

Think about how GINORMOUS this universe is.

Although you and I are just one person on this tiny planet that's revolving around a sun that's in this huge universe. At night you're surrounded by millions of stars.
Think about how much of this universe is unseen, how long it takes for each star's light to reach you.

God made us as just one person but we are all important. You may or may not know but you've probably made an impact on someone's life. God sees you from up above.
You're important and unique. No one is like you.
Yes there are many people in this world but to find someone exactly like you is impossible.

YOU are his creation. He trusts you to be part of his plan. God invests in you.

You're Unique.

We all have our own struggles and challenges which make up our own story.

We are all unique. None of us are the same.

We are all different. We may think that there's nothing special about me.

I have had those thoughts before. I didn't know what to do i had no friends that were there to support me or encourage me. I realized that we all have our own things we need to overcome. I realized that we all have our own ways to overcome things. An example is, releasing stress. For me, i do it by working out or playing sports. Others may do it by journal-ing or talking a walk. You're special in God's eyes. We may sometimes let others get in the way of our relationship with God and they make us feel like we're worthless but we aren't.

God made us different. There is no one on this earth that is the same as you. Be yourself all day, ever day (:

Don't ever change because people like you come once in a lifetime.

Acceptance.

In today's society, we tend to form cliques in schools and other places. We block out others who we feel 'don't belong'. We judge people by what they wear or what they look like.

I stumbled across a video and it was a little slap in the face. It showed me not to judge on what someone looks like or how they act. God made us different in every possible way. He accepts us for who we are and we should do that to others too. God doesn't love one person and yet, at the same time, hate another. He accepts each and every one of us. No matter what we do, no matter how many sins we've made. He still loves us.

We should learn to accept others for who they are because we are all unique in our own way. It may be hard at first but God will pull us through.

They got their swag and you got yours.
