Think about it. Not a one of us is the same as another. We all have different personalities, styles, physical attributes, and abilities.
We really are the salt of the Earth. We spice things up with who we are.
In Matthew 5:13 Jesus says "You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless." I believe He wants us to season the Earth who we are. He wants us to embrace our differences and excel in the areas that He has made us strong.
The second part of the verse clarifies our purpose. We are not on this Earth to be a carbon copy of the person we admire the most. We shouldn't be boring people. We need to constantly be dreaming, innovating, working, and praying so that we can be used by our Creator. God wants to use each and everyone of us. He gives us our quirks, personalities, fashion sense, and talents for a reason. He doesn't judge you based on where you shop, what hobbies interest you, or what your pet peeves are. What he cares about is how you use them to share His love with other people.
What makes you differnt, makes you special. He did that on purpose. So embrace your personality, your gifts, and your interest, as long as they are pleasing to Him chances are you will be living the life He wants you to live.
Love Who You Are,
Shane
