Thief of EverythingSample

Have you ever gotten up early in the morning to hear the birds sing? If you listen close enough, you’ll realize they all sound different. But they don’t let that stop them from singing. Each bird has a unique song and noise that’s specific to that type of bird. Same with humans, there is not one person who will be like you. You are unique just like the birds that sing in the morning. In all the different songs the birds sing, when they come together it’s a masterpiece of music that points to God, who created them.

Today I encourage you to be comfortable with who you are. Be content with what God has given you. Today’s verse is a great reminder of this. We have all that we need in Christ, just like Paul writes about in Philippians 4:19: “And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” Tomorrow, I encourage you to go outside early in the morning. Listen to how the birds sing. Notice how they don’t compare themselves to the other birds. They just proudly sing their unique song for the world to hear. Let their song remind you that your uniqueness can reflect the God who created you, for the world around you.
