“Free to Be Me”
1 Cor 15:10
But by the grace of God I am what I am
You are unique. You are special. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. God took his time when he created you. He placed within you all the things he wanted to be there. He chose your hair color, eye color, the shape of your nose, the shape of your lips and the curve of your hips. You are so special your fingerprints are specific only to you. Your gifts and talents are specific to you. There is no one else like you in the entire universe. By the Grace of God I am what I am. So why are so many people unhappy with things about themselves and wanting what someone else has or possesses. Short people want to be tall. Tall people want to be short, skinny people want a little more meat on their bones, those who have the extra weight want to take it off. We constantly comparing ourselves one to another.

It is human nature to want to see how we measure up in comparison to others; especially if we think that they are better than us or have more of something that we desire. We should not compare ourselves with others because there is no one like us and this makes us incomparable. It is sometimes almost easier to look outside of ourselves and feel like we are lacking in comparison to other people rather than taking responsibility for our own progress in relation to the fulfillment of the purpose for our life.
It actually takes more courage to look at ourselves to see whether we are measuring up to our standards or meeting our full potential. Each of us has very special gifts. And we are here for very specific reasons. We each have a life purpose to fulfill; lessons that we must learn and circumstances that we must go through in order to develop as spiritual beings. To compare our lives to other people's lives when we have no idea of what they are here to learn or fulfill doesn't benefit anyone, especially you. You have no idea of the plan God has for someone else’s life.

Each of us live under a unique set of circumstances, everybody’s life is not on the same track. We are working on different problems, growing at various rates on varied character traits. We experience different trials and have been influenced by our environment in distinctive ways. A true and accurate comparison is impossible by another human being. It misses the mark of perfection according to the truth of God. So if you want to compare yourself to something or someone compare yourself to the standards of God’s Word. How are you developing and progressing into the person God called you to be. By the Grace of God I am what I am. I am Free to be me.
