There’s Only One You

There’s Only One You

From the place of His dwelling He looks on
all the inhabitants of the earth;
He fashions their hearts individually.

Psalm 33:14–15

You are the only you God made.

He made you and broke the mold. . . . Every single baby is a brand-new idea from the mind of God.

No one can duplicate your life. Scan history for your replica; you won’t find it. God tailor-made you. He “personally formed and made each one” (Isa. 43:7 MSG). No box of “backup yous” sits in God’s workshop. You aren’t one of many bricks in the mason’s pile or one of a dozen bolts in the mechanic’s drawer. You are it! And if you aren’t you, we don’t get you. The world misses out.

You are heaven’s Halley’s comet; we have one shot at seeing you shine.
