I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well (Psalm 139:14).
Do you know you’re so uniquely blessed? You’re God’s best, and there’s so much that God has put within you. In Genesis 12:2, God said to Abraham, “And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing.” You’re the seed of Abraham, because the Bible says in Galatians 3:29, “…if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed….”
Hence, not only are you blessed, you’re also a blessing. You carry blessings with you everywhere; anything you touch is blessed! Everyone who encounters you is blessed; your environment is blessed on account of your presence. What a life! And because you’re so blessed, the Bible says you’re like a tree planted by the rivers of water, ever green, luscious and flourishing, bearing fruits, and abiding in eternal prosperity.
Furthermore, 1 Peter 2:9 (AMPC) says, “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God’s] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds {and} display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” Could anyone read this and not shout for joy? Such a sublime reality about the new creation revealed to us in the Word of God! You’re peculiar. You’ve been perfected in Christ, and God has unleashed you to manifest His glory to the world.
Ephesians 3:10 says, “…unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God.” This is God’s purpose. He chose to show forth His manifold wisdom to the principalities and powers in heavenly places, through us—the Church. This shows just how blessed and peculiar we are as new creations. We’re the crowning beauty, the highest of everything God made; the first and the best of His creatures (James 1:18).
Your life is for the glory of God; always remember that. He made you for glory and excellence, so He could manifest His beauty, grace, and righteousness through you. Believe it. Accept it. Think that way, and celebrate your uniqueness.
