Sitting in the shade of a tree, I plucked a dandelion. This once vibrant yellow dandelion had faded over a period of days into a white fluff of seeds, ready to spread out on their own and make new dandelions. I plucked one seed from the dandelion and twirled it around between my fingers. A dandelion like this might, from a distance, seem like one whole flower. But when you look closer, you can see tiny individual seeds, each with an almost identical look.
The seeds on the flower weren’t a mistake, God put each and every little seed there for a purpose. Similarly, God made us each unique. He made each and every one of us, and gave us all different abilities.
Finally, I blew all the seeds off the dandelion. Fluffy, white wisps of seeds were swept away in the breeze. Some of the seeds went farther than others, some went higher, some went on the grass, only to be swept up again in another light nudge from the wind. But no matter where they ended up, or how long it took them to get there, they all eventually made it where they were supposed to. Some of us are better at math, some are better at painting, some of us are better at sports, but whatever it is, God made you unique. He had a purpose in mind when He made you.
