You are unique, distinct and unique. In the eyes of God, you are something
special. No one can replace you in the role that you fulfill in God's
creation at any given place and at any point in time. You are most necessary
and indispensable for that particular set-up in that particular time-space
context. Therefore, rejoice and be grateful to the Lord that He has given
a role for you to perform.
How well you perform your given role is irrelevant. God
expects each one to do only what one is capable of doing at any point
in time. God does not expect an ant to haul a great timber as the elephant
does in the forest. Nor does God expect the elephant to fly in the air
gracefully as parrots and doves and many other birds of flight who wend
their way in the open space. He expects birds to fly and He loves them
for what they do. He expects elephants to fulfill their role, giving dignity
to the forest and doing incredible jobs of strength. He expects man to
be man. And each one in his own sphere can fulfill a task and gladden
the heart of the Maker and contribute something to His plan on earth.
To be aware of this truth is to be worry free.
Things are as they should be. The Lord is in heaven and
all is well on earth. This is the firm belief of those who have faith
in the infinite love of God, who have trust in the infinite goodness of
God, and who are sure that in God's heart they have a special and unique
place. This place is ever kept reserved for them and no one can take it
away from them because God's infinite heart is large enough to hold the
entire cosmos and everything within it.
The peace of God pervades the entire earth. The peace
of God pervades everywhere, without and within. The peace of God is the
one great truth underlying all things, ever-present, ever-accessible and
available, ever-full and inexhaustible. Try to live in the light of this
truth, and the heart and mind will be at ease.
Never compare and contrast, because there is no comparing
and contrasting among unique things. Every little fledgling hatched from
an egg is unique to its parents. So is each being unique in itself, for
God is the parent of all.
Therefore, rejoice that you are special to God in His
infinite love. Rejoice that you have your own special place and role to
perform in this creation of God. And rejoice that His love is immediately
available to you. For He is not a remote reality, but He is the indwelling
Reality, nearer to you than anything else on earth. And rejoice that within
you is the peace of God as your own Self. You are God's peace and you
have a duty to perform, that is, to spread this peace which you are to
one and all.
Live to spread this peace!
