No Two are the Same

I like to people-watch.  Often others may think I am being rude by staring.  But, I am not staring in judgment by any means.  I watch in amazement.  I marvel at His creation.  I recognize His creativity.  I appreciate the various gifts He distributed to each one of His children.  No two people share the same characteristics.  God knows each of His children well and can speak to them in just the right way to gain a relationship.

I watch an older couple sing beautifully together.  I catch two young ladies laughing as they text on their cell phone.  I experience a person placing the needs of another before their own.  A little child brings a smile to the worst situations.  A husband loves his wife as God intended.  A father takes time to give attention to his child. 

No gift is too small or unrecognized by our Father.  He likes variety and for each child He created a reason to have life. 

"Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.  To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit,  to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit,  to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines." (1 Corinthians 12:7-11) 

"But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body." (1 Corinthians 15:38)

Just as our gifts vary, so do our bodies.  We each have a specific shape and size.  Each for a reason.  God sees beauty in every mirror.  We were created in His image.  An artist visualizes beauty in their minds and then creates it on paper.  An architect imagines the perfect building with each piece in place and then creates it for the purpose intended. 

God is our Architect, our Artist, our Creator.  He took time to careful plan every fiber of our being to fit the purpose intended.  He then created us, resulting in a beautiful child, sent into this world to fulfill the work He imagined.  Each part of your body, nose, mouth, eyes, physique, toes, etc. serves a purpose for your specific plan.  Each part is beautiful.  Each part came from Him.

Allow God to speak clearly your purpose.  He will speak to each in different ways.  There again, variety!  Don't let Satan overpower the voice of God in your life.  Love one another just as He loves you.  Enjoy the variety, creativity and gifts distributed from Him in every one you meet.  Praise Him for the works of His mighty hand.  He is amazing!

God, thank you for this day.  Thank You for variety.  It would be very boring if all were created from a mold.  Thank You for the time took to cover every detail of every life created.  Help me see through Your eyes all the beauty and gifts of those I encounter.  I love You.

Keep praying harder than the devil can work.
