Custom Made – One of A Kind
Custom Made – One of A Kind
It’s easy to feel like we always have to measure up to someone else.
From the time we’re young, we are surrounded by comparisons. Who’s the fastest, the smartest, the most talented. The world constantly pushes the idea that success is about being better than someone else, fitting into a mold, or meeting a certain standard.
But then comes the Truth, found in Psalms 139:14:
“I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works…”
Fearfully and wonderfully made. Not mass-produced, not identical and not lacking in any way.
Each person is uniquely designed by the Hands of the Creator who makes no mistakes. Every detail of our strengths, our abilities, even our struggles, was intentionally woven together for a purpose that no one else can fulfill quite the same way.
The Power comes from Knowing Who You Are.
When I truly began to understand that I am custom-made by God, everything changed.
Instead of looking at others and wishing I had their talents and abilities, I started to appreciate my own. Instead of striving to fit in, I started embracing what makes me different.
So Instead of listening to the voices that say, “You can’t,” start believing the One who says, “I made you to succeed.”
The world tells us that we need to be more, do more, achieve more. It tries to convince us that our worth is measured by accomplishments, appearance, or the approval of others. But that was never God’s design.
From the very beginning, He made each of us one of a kind.
No one else has the exact combination of gifts, passions, and experiences that you do. No one else can make the impact you were meant to make.
Breaking Free from Comparison is essential.
Comparison is a thief. It steals joy, confidence, and peace. It makes people focus on what they are not, instead of what they are. But when we stop comparing, then we start living. We begin to see the beauty in how God created us.
We stop asking, “Why am I not like them?” and start declaring, “I am exactly who I was meant to be.”
When we realize that no one else was born to do what we were created to do.
We stop trying to fit into someone else’s mold. We stop striving for approval that doesn’t define us. We stop doubting the value we bring to the world.
Instead, we walk confidently in the purpose God has given us, knowing that we are uniquely equipped for it.
So what does it look like to live as someone who is fearfully and wonderfully made?
• Embrace your uniqueness. Instead of seeing your differences as a weakness, recognize them as part of God’s intentional design.
• Silence the negative voices. Whether it’s the world’s expectations or self-doubt, refuse to let lies define your worth.
• Celebrate others without comparing. Someone else’s success doesn’t take away from your own. You have a different path, a different purpose.
• Trust God’s plan. He made you with intention, and He has a specific role for you to play in His grand story.
The moment we stop trying to be someone else and start embracing who God made us to be, we find freedom and begin to accomplish great things..
We no longer live weighed down by insecurity or doubt. We no longer wait for permission to step into our calling. We no longer see ourselves as less than.
Instead, we walk boldly, knowing that we are custom-made by the Hands of a perfect Creator.
And there is no greater confidence than that.
