This week I traveled to Charlotte, NC where I met up with a group of GHCN church planters. During a training session the presenter made this statement: “Most people over-value what they are not and under-value what they are.”
Is this statement true in your own life? Do you see someone elses gifts, talents, abilities or skills and wish you were more like them. It is so easy to get discouraged with ourselves as we compare ourselves to others.
But Jesus has something totally different for us in mind. Jesus made us to be a part of His ‘body’ (1 Cor. 12:12-26) and the bible says we are his ‘masterpiece’ (Eph. 2:10). There is no one else in this world with your mix of talents, abilities, personality, experience, and passions. And through Jesus, you can make an impact in a way that no one else can.
As we each follow Jesus, let each of us be the best “you” that we can be.
