"Anybody can become angry – that is easy; but to be angry with the right person, and to the right degree, and at the right time, and for the right purpose, and in the right way – that is not within everybody’s power and is not easy"

Are your jeans unique?

So I have developed a new fashion passion (dude that is just the weirdest sounding phrase ever!).

I really want a pair of pre-ripped jeans. These are the kind of cool fashion items that look like they had a play date with a pit bull.

Most of these types of clothing have this tag on them somewhere: “These jeans have intentional flaws in order to make them unique.”

But I read a devotional somewhere that used that cool phrase to stress that God makes us that way. God makes us with genes that have some intentional flaws, quirks you may say, that are unique.

We may have personalities that seem quiet, or we may be crazy kind of people, we may have likes and dislikes that we think no one else does...but guess what God made us all with intentional quirks to use for his glory.

Once we are comfortable knowing that we are who we are not by chance but by design of the Living God, then our identity can be used in amazing ways.

Psalm 139 in the Bible says we are wonderfully and complexly made, it is time for us to embrace the unmistakably flawed and unique person God has made us to be!

Now off to find those jeans....
