The past couple of days I have been finding myself very frustrated and worried about things that truly don't matter. With Easter Sunday coming up, I, like a lot of people, have been worried about what I am going to wear and frustrated because I won't be wearing anything new to church. I have also been comparing my singing to others quite frequently. I will be singing a solo this Sunday and have been worried about how I am going to look and sound to all the people that show up. I have been making myself sick that I won't be as good as the other soloists. My devotion this morning discussed how we are all different and that is what makes us beautiful. These verses really hit home with me
Romans 12:5-6 (The Message)
"So since we find ourselves fashioned into all these excellently formed and marvelously functioning parts in Christ's body, let's just go ahead and be what we were made to be, without enviously or pridefully comparing ourselves with each other or trying to be something we aren't."
This morning, I realize that my voice isn't like anyone else's and I shouldn't want it to be. God made me the way I am for a reason and as long as I am singing truly for his glory and his glory alone, then nothing else matters. It doesn't matter what I wear or how I think I sound. As long as I am praising God in all I do, everything else will fall into place.
