The world's population has surpassed 8 billion people, with every individual boasting a distinct thumbprint; this is a remarkable testament to human uniqueness. The Scriptures attest to the fact that to every man conceived into this world, there is an ultimate purpose from God unto good works. As it is written: “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” — Ephesians 2:10 (KJV).
However, the devil also works tirelessly to hijack men for his own purpose (see 1 Peter 5:8). For those who do not know God, the message is simple: come to Jesus now while grace is still available. But for those who have found God early enough, you must embrace your own uniqueness. Your usability is not determined by what you possess or do not possess, but by the uniqueness God has placed within you.
In essence, you may be inspired by people, but never aspire to be someone else. Build your capacity with respect to your uniqueness. The Scriptures in Romans 12:6 urge us to engage with life according to the grace and proportion of faith given to us. Be yourself, love yourself, and embrace your uniqueness.
