You Are Special
This devotional was written by Jim Burns

You created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.— Psalm 139:13-16

You are unique. You are special. God created you, and there is not another person in the world exactly like you. True, there are things about us that we really don't like. I wish I were taller, richer, and more intelligent. There are some aspects of our lives that we can work on to improve and other aspects that we must learn to accept. The people who learn to accept the good with the bad are the ones who find happiness. Cathy and I have a prayer hung up in our bathroom that helps me when I'm feeling less than good about myself and the circumstances in my life. It simply reads:

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change those I can, and wisdom to know the difference.

Great advice for those who sometimes forget they are special in the eyes of God!
