Words of Light and Hope from Tony Hawes
Words of Light and Hope from Tony Hawes.
Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. Isaiah 43.1.
In all the world there is nobody like you. Since the beginning of time there has never been another person like you. Nobody has your smile, your eyes, your hands, your hair. Nobody owns your handwriting, your voice. You are Special. Nobody can paint your brushstrokes. Nobody has your taste for food or music or dance or art. Nobody in the universe sees things as you do. In all time there has never been anyone who laughs in exactly your way, and what makes you laugh or cry or think, may have a totally different response in another. So – You are Special. You are different from any other person who has ever lived in the history of the universe. You are the only one in the whole of creation who has your particular set of abilities. There is always someone who is better at one thing or another. Every person is your superior in at least one way. But nobody in the universe can reach the quality of the combination of your talents, your feelings. Like a roomful of musical instruments some might excel in one way or another, but nobody can match the symphonic sound when all are played together. Your Symphony. Through all eternity no one will ever walk, talk, think, or do exactly like you. You are Special. You are Special, and it is no accident you are. Please realise that God made you for a special purpose. He has a job for you that nobody else can do as well as you can. Out of the billions of applicants only one is qualified. Only one has the unique and right combination of what it takes, and that one is You. You are Special.

Thanks be to God.
