This part of the AtoZ challenge is going to be tough. The "fun" letters of the alphabet. U is for Unique. We are all made unique, and no two people are the same. I think that is what is great about everyone.
I am currently doing The Confident Women devotion on my Youversion bible, and Saturday's lesson was about being unique. We all know people who march to their own drum. Sometimes we think Wow! That's crazy she is dressing like that or something that makes them different from us.
We should all be brave enough to live on the unbeaten path and make our own journey in life. After all, we only have 1 life. The prayer at the end of the devotion is fantastic so I want to share it with you.
Lord, help me to see beyond my narrow limitations for people. I want to see what You see in them, but I'll never see it without Your touch. Amen.
To me that is such a powerful prayer and should be repeated daily.
I am finally really able to embrace my uniqueness. I flaunt my goofiness, my sarcasm, my knowledge of various topics, etc to others. (Not boastfully, but I'm not afraid to let it show.)
ReplyDeleteIt really has made my life easier to not have to hide my uniqueness.
I've been embracing my uniqueness my whole life, and fighting my mom's attempts to make me a mainstream, 'normal' person who wears the right clothes, has the right hairdo, etc etc etc It made me a target in school of course, but now, 30 years later, my classmates tell me that they admired my ability to be myself and not care about fitting in.
