Are you an ordinary person like me? Do you at times feel like a nobody with no particular talents or beauty? Or are you a person who feels that life is unfair to you? Have you ever wished to be somebody else rather than YOU? I did...
One day, I complained...
Why am I not like a friend down the street who is tall and handsome?
Why am I not rich like...?
Why am I not talented like...?
Then I heard a gentle whisper..
"You are special!"
What??!.. You are kidding, right?
"I created YOU!"
Then You must have run out of ideas while creating someone like me!!
"I created all things bright and beautiful, great and small...and I created you according to my perfect plan. I did not creat anyone else like you. You are uniquely special...and I made no mistake!"
I looked around...and for the first time I saw and realized that I am the only one in all humanity who looks, thinks, talks and walks exactly like ME! I am a rarity..one in thousands of millions!!
"I told you, you are special!"
Yes....
"And I love you!"
Tears blurred my eyes.....this time not because of self pity but of gratitude!
Softly I said, "Thank You, Father!"
