I am a special person, uniquely gifted by God!

We all want to make a difference. We want to be involved in doing something that will make our lives count. And yes, we often want some kind of recognition and other people’s praise for what we do. But it’s important to remember that our eternal significance is not found in doing things that others see as important. God wants us to experience real significance, and that significance only comes through his unconditional love and total acceptance, and our fulfilling his plan for our lives. Psalm 139:13–16 tells us:

“Certainly you made my mind and heart; you wove me together in my mother’s womb. I will give you thanks because your deeds are

amazing. You knew me my bones were not hidden from you, thoroughly; when I was made in secret and sewed together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw me when I was inside the womb. All the days ordained for me were recorded in your scroll before one of them came into existence.”

Each one of us has been designed by God for a special purpose! God has fashioned each one of us individually; he created us, formed us, and knows us by name. You may be thinking, “Really, has God designed little old me for something special in this world?” Numerous places in the Bible confirm that the answer to that question is a definite “Yes!” In the Old Testament, we read, “From the place where he lives he looks carefully at all the earth’s inhabitants. He is the one who forms every human heart, and takes note of all their actions” (Psalm 33:14–15).
