I'm something special

I've been thinking of this song alot recently (especially the chorus) and what it really means. I know it's little kids song, but I think that there is a lesson for us "old folks" too! :)

I'm far from being perfect on the outside, but do I have to be? As long as my heart is clean and perfect before God does it matter what I look like? No, not really. Why then is it so hard to accept my outside(looks) for what it is then? You think it's because of what other people say? Yeah... I think that's alot of it.

When I was in my younger teen years (13-16 or so) I had a REALLY hard time accepting myself. Now? I still struggle sometimes, but God has helped me to see that I'm something special! I'm the ONLY one of my kind. There's no one else like me... I'm unique... fashioned by the hand of God. Who am I to say that He made me wrong? Since I've learned this lesson I've tried to look at "me" and try to find that "something special" to try to use to help others. For you see, "He had a special purpose that He wanted ME to find, so He made ME something SPECIAL" I'm the only one that can do the job that the Lord has for me. I've discovered His purposes in each step of my life and am continuing to do so. His plans are incredible and I am looking so forward to seeing how God is going to fulfill them! BUT... NOBODY else, has the same life plan as me, you know why? Cause I'm special... and my life and all that it holds was designed by God long before I was ever born. It's custom made just for me... and ya know what? You're something special! No one else could ever take your place either!

If we all are simply US what a grand place this world would be! So let's try... how about it? I'll be me and you be you and we'll do our best to fulfill the "special purpose" that God has for us!

Ok, enough rambling... Hope this makes sense... :) Made sense in my brain but had a hard time getting it on paper...er...screen ;)
