Another post on social media caught my eye today,”I’m not like anyone else, I don’t pretend to be. Like it or not, good or bad, I’m just me.” It is a good reminder that each of us is an original, unique masterpiece of God’s creation.When we become believers and followers of Christ, we do not sacrifice our individuality or our free will. Jesus’ life death and resurrection make it possible for us to approach God directly in His name. God made a way, but our relationship with Him as God’s son or daughter is up to each of us. God is always only one prayer away in Jesus’ name no matter how far we think we have strayed from Him.
Christians share the same heavenly Father, the same Savior and the same Holy Spirit within us, but our journey through this life is as unique as we are. I share my Christian experiences with you in this blog, but your experiences will be somewhat different – not better or worse, just different. Based on our unique gifts, God has a special calling or mission for each of us. He knows our strengths and weaknesses and will guide us accordingly. My goal has always been to be the best me as a child of God. If we each strive for that goal, we will meet in heaven some day and celebrate eternal life with our Lord together.
