Like Flowers in a Garden

“To wish you were someone else is to waste the person you are.”

One of my fb friends posted this quote, so I do not take credit for it except to pass it on to all you folk. I remember only one quote from my school days Principal  from our daily morning assembly, and it ties in with this quote. She said that we are all like flowers in a garden, and it takes the variety to make the garden beautiful.

[quoting Marianne Williamson] Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

For the body is not one member, but many.
If the foot says, “Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason any the less a part of the body.
And if the ear says, “Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason any the less a part of the body.
If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the sense of smell be?
But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body, just as He desired.
If they were all one member, where would the body be?
But now there are many members, but one body.
And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; or again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” …
(1 Corinthians 12:14-21 NASB)

Enjoy the uniqueness of who you are and may your future be bright and fulfilling.
