Figuring Myself Out
You have looked deep into my heart, Lord, and you know all about me.
Psalm 139:1 (CEV)
What if every musician in the orchestra wanted to play the flute?
What if all the teachers in your school taught only one subject—math?
What if every single kid in your town wore the same clothes every day—a black T-shirt with gray sweatpants?
That would make for a very boring world.
God made us all unique with different characteristics, desires, and talents. And He knows all those big and little things about you—the number of hairs on your head, what makes you happy or sad, and who you have a crush on! He knows what is hard for you and every bad thought you have. Even then, He still loves you and helps you.
At your age, it can be hard to understand who you are or what you are good at. Remembering that God knows everything about you will help you put your trust in Him to help you figure it all out. God doesn’t want you to be something you are not, or to pretend to be different from how He created you. When you’re unsure of who you are, pray to your creator who knows you inside and out. Then, instead of blending in with the crowd, stand out in the unique way God made you!
