Have you ever heard of the saying that no two fingerprints are the same? If you look at your fingers alone, every fingerprint is slightly different than another. We often look at our hands as a huge help when it comes to putting on clothes, doing our hair, cooking, communication, or talents. But when we proceed to look deeper into what our hands really hold...we find that they always leave a part of us behind. I always thought it was the coolest thing when a piece of tape got stuck to your finger and once you pull the tape off your fingerprint is left behind. But beyond the piece of tape, we always left a part of ourselves behind in whatever we do or even say. But the key point to remember here is that yeah we all leave our marks but all of those marks are different. I have stated before that we were all made differently which has created our vastly different world. The best two lessons we looked back at the beginning of creation and the roles that men and women carry separately as different genders. But in this lesson we are going beyond the gender. Look at human nature as a whole..just like not all women are the same, not all men are the same. And altogether every single one of those different men and women are different from each other. So if we were all made differently on purpose than why do we push the concept of acting the same, dressing the same, loving the same, learning the same, acting the same, and most importantly...worshipping the same. Society pushes most of these pressure on everyone to live up to some standard that ultimately makes us all become formed into one American form of a human. Not all people strive to fit the norm of the world. But one thing we should all do is worship differently than anyone else in the world. Just imagine this...if everyone sang the same exact way with the same amount of un-excitment or if everyone read the bible every now and then in the same exact way, then would we really be different from each other? Now I'm not saying that if you sing in an identical way to another person during worship that it means you are not being different. My point here is we are made in so many unique ways and we need to show that through our faith so that the whole message is seen. This came to my mind while I was doing my devotional time while reading the extended edition of the Purpose Driven Life book called What on Earth am I Here for? and while I was reading it I thought to myself, well okay that is a very valid point that we need to be set apart in our ways when it comes to worshipping. But it just now comes to me that the title asks why we are earth here for and that topic is a huge piece of information. God wants us to worship him with all of our heart and mind. Keep in mind that we all are different. We need to worship God in the way that represents us the most. Not everyone has been through the same things or have the same amount of faith. Realize how much God wants you to worship him by the person you are. Yes we are on the earth with each other and we all come together as brothers and sisters of Christ but worship God through your own heart and not how others do it. Stick out from the crowd and actually worship him the way her tells you too. You will benefit more by showing the true authentic you instead of showing the person you have made yourself. So do not only yourself but do God a favor and worship God in a way that tells him "Hey it's me!" God will look down on you and know that your worship truly means something to you. Lastly, when we show this authentic relationship through worship we also continue to grow a relationship between ourselves and God. Show yourself you are authentic...worship God by your God given ways.
