Your Unique Offering

Earlier this year I had a debate with someone about whether we are all special.  My view is that our modern culture has confused this concept with the idea that we are all unique.  

Either way, our individuality and uniqueness are gifts from our Creator who is the author of creativity.  Take some time to reflect on the Scripture below:

[Jesus] is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. Colossians 1:15-17 (NIV)

In Lou Giglio’s book "Wired" he presents this Scripture with the following principle:

“People everywhere. A sea of humanity. And every single person down there is someone created with amazing potential and purpose. All uniquely fashioned to reflect back to their Creator His beauty and wonder. Each one breathing the air of earth in one accord. Each person given life to  give him praise.” Giglio, Louie (2009-02-04). Wired: (Kindle Locations 181-183)

As you ponder this principle this week, come to practice ready to answer this question: What has God created me uniquely to do and how do I prepare myself to do whatever that is?
