The worst part about you comparing yourself to others is that you miss the most important truth about you: nobody can compare to you. Sure, some are skinnier, but some guys are down with thickness. Sure some are smarter, but do they have more Godly wisdom? Sure there are all kinds of things others can do that you can’t, but that’s the point, you aren’t like them.

Maybe you’ve been working on fitting in by acting like those around you, and you’ve lost sight of your uniqueness. And you’ve lost the race to be like everyone else. So be it. That’s for the best. We need you to be you. You have something special inside you that we need in the Kingdom. 

Forget the “what’s your spiritual gift” tests, you have something so unique inside you, there’s no name for it. 

Someone is lost, and hurting, and lonely, and they know they need God, they just can’t find a way from their world to Him. Right now that person is reading a Doctor Who fan fiction website. And who better than you to write the fan fiction that will bridge that gap? Is this geeky? Oh my yes, it’s geeky to the power of geeky. What do you call this gift? Whovangelist? I dunno, but please don’t hide your light under a bushel.

This lost and seeking person is riding a surfboard, he’s writing a screenplay in a coffeeshop, she’s working at a tattoo parlor. If you’re a tattoo artist or a surfer or a Sci-Fi nerd we need you to be that for Jesus. It takes all kinds to reach all kinds. 1 Corinthians 10:31 says, “…Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God”

It’s not about figuring out what to do, it’s about figuring out how to give glory to God in what you’re already doing.
