One of a kind -Inspired by Rob Bell Everything is Spiritual and Psalm 139

I believe that God makes it very clear that we are not to be the same as each other.  We are unique, we are created with DNA which is like a map of you, our fingerprints are personalised, the retina in your eye is unique to you.

Our body produces hundreds of millions of red and white blood cells each second. Each cell has roughly 6ft of DNA strands coiled up inside of it, if the strands of DNA were stretched out of every cell in your body and put end to end there would be 80 billion miles of instruction, it would take you from the earth to the sun and back 400 times! Your body is hardwired to be you and nobody else!

It says in Psalm 139 in the Bible:

‘You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous – how well I know it! You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.’

Beyonce Knowles brought a custom LV handbag and it cost her £28,741 –  why? Because it is one of a kind limited edition bag. We are one of a kind, not even a limited edition – we are the only edition, only made once and we are worth far more than a handbag!

Imagine how precious you are! There will never be another one of you or me so enjoy your week walking around knowing ‘I am designed to be me and only me’ but you are also loved and known by the Creator who made every part of you.
