The Call on Your Life is Not to be a Copy


All People Are Born Originals; Most Die as Copies 

You and I can always find someone richer than we are, poorer than we are, or more or less able than we are. But how other people are, what they have, and what happens in their lives have no effect on our call. The Bible in Galatians 6:4 says “Let everyone be sure that he is doing his very best, for then he will have the personal satisfaction of work well done, and won’t need to compare himself with anyone”.




Stand out; don’t blend in. The majority, many times, is a group of highly motivated snails. If a thousand people say something foolish, it is still foolish. Truth is never dependent upon consensus of belief. Don’t be persuaded or dissuaded by group opinion. It does not make any difference what anyone else believes; you must believe. NEVER take direction for your personal life from a crowd. Never choose to quit just because someone disagrees with you. 

God made you a certain way. You are unique, one of a kind. To copy others is to cheat yourself out of the fullness of what God has called you to be and to do. Imitation is limitation. There should be something different about you. If you do not stand out in group, if your life is not unique or different, you should reevaluate yourself. 

Choose to accept and become the person God has made you to be. Tap into the originality and creative genius of God in your life. If you’re not you, then who are you going to be?
