Youth Personal Worship: (Unique)

(Submitted by Travis Jenkins)

Ephesians 4:4 4

"There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called;…"

Sonic restaurants advertise that there are 168,894 combinations of drinks on their menu. If you wanted to try every combination you would have to order 5 drinks a day everyday of your life until you were over 92 years old. Could you imagine tasting five new drinks everyday of your life? One thing is for sure, it would always be a unique experience. There are so many different things which define us as unique in society too: Schools offer tons of extracurricular activities; you can google millions of hobbies; family situations vary widely from one teenager to the next; fashion is constantly changing; etc. The list of what could make someone unique keeps growing and growing. With so many options out there it is easy to be completely unique, unlike anyone else on the planet. How do we overcome the desire to be unique with the truth of today’s scripture?
If we're supposed to have "one" body and spirit then how can I be a unique creation of God? We have to understand what God is calling us for. He's calling us towards unity in Him. He wants us working, serving, ministering, and worshiping together for the soul purpose of glorifying Him. God did create each of us unique. The challenge now is to use your own uniqueness to join in with the unique qualities of others to become the complete body of Christ.

ASK

What qualities to you have which you consider unique?

PRAY

Thank God for the truth that He made you special and with unique qualities meant just for you.

DO

Point out a unique quality you admire in someone today and let them know you noticed it.
