Just As You Are

Before you took your first breath, God placed gifts within you. He wove you together with strengths, abilities, and that smile of yours that lights up a room. He made you irreplaceable.

There’s one thing no other person in the world can do better than you, and that’s simply being you. You are made in the image of God, and there’s a part of who He is that only shows up in this world through you.

Not only did He form you before you were born, but He also made you a new creation when you gave your life to Jesus. Not simply a new person—a new creation. In other words, a completely unique being. Here’s why that matters: if there’s only one of something, it can’t be compared.

You’re not compared by God to anyone else, and that means you don’t have to compare yourself to others either.

You’re accepted, cherished, and even celebrated just as you are.
