Out of the generosity of Christ, each of us is given his own gift. (Ephesians 4:8)

You are unique. You’re fearfully and wonderfully made, with a different set of traits than anyone else and a specific collection of gifts to use for God’s glory. No one else in the whole wide world is exactly like you. When God looks at you, He sees your one-of-a-kind beauty—and He’ll spend your entire earthbound journey helping you see it too. When you see yourself the way God sees you, your love-redeemed soul shines brighter. The world looks at you and sees not only your beauty, but His. Your life becomes a God-glorifying expression of the love that restores light to dimly lit places and redeems lives that are shattered. When God gives, He gives generously. The gifts you’ve been given are many, and the love by which they came is deeper than we can know. Trust Him with everything that concerns you and live each day with the confidence of knowing there’s nothing you can do to make Him turn His back on you. You’re at the center of His thoughts, in the palm of His hand, and in the direct, unswerving path of His incredible, unstoppable love.
