our natural human idea is to compare ourselves with what we think we

see. It could be a favorite celebrity or even someone you know in

person. Some of the power of society is to help people’s emotional

well-being by creating norms for everyone. Can you imagine what it would

be like to drive with no established ‘norms’ of traffic rules? However,

this helpful reality can turn to something that is destructive when we

turn away from the uniqueness we’ve been given by our Creator. Some of

the way that God’s people come alive is to embrace that God did not make

a mistake in making you the way He did. There is a divine purpose in

your life, and how you’re made is a part of that. Instead of wasting our

lives and energy trying to be something we’re not, our faith asks us to

trust the Lord for making us how He did.
