You Weren't Created To Be A Copy

"Be a voice, not an echo." Unknown

 What we tend to do in this world today, especially when we are feeling down and out about who and where we are in our lives, is look to others that seem like they have it all together. We look to others that have what it is that we are wanting, so we copy them, hoping that, in the process of doing what they do, we will eventually gain what they have. But my friend, listen, when God sees us doing this, it breaks His heart. Do you know why? Well, it is because He didn't create you to be like anyone else, He didn't create you to live in the shadow of another, but instead, He created you to be an original masterpiece. He created you, just as you are, so that you are able to accomplish what it is that He has you to, and even though we might not have what we think that we should, we have to know that, just because those people do have it, it does not make them better than you. It just means that their life journey is different than yours and God has them on a different path.
 So today, you need to stop being a copy. You need to stop living a life that you weren't meant to live and start living the life that God has created you for! And to do this, we need to start living in, accepting, and rejoicing in this original, beautiful person that God has created us to be!
