Have you ever had someone tell you that you are unique? If that's happened to you, you may have wondered if that's a compliment or an insult. I've decided that I will just take it as a compliment even if that wasn't the intention of my unique friend.
If you have younger kids, you have maybe noticed their uniqueness or individuality with their art projects. You may want them to tell you what it is before you make that mistake of trying to make an artistic interpretation.
To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
God made each person one of a kind—even identical twins have unique fingerprints! Every person that ever was or ever will be is an original.
This month's Life App in Inspire Kids is Individuality. Individuality is discovering who you are meant to be so you can make a difference.
Most of us remember Timothy because of what Paul wrote to him while he was a young leader in the church at Ephesus. But if you do a little digging in the book of Acts, and look at what we know about the journeys of Paul, you can piece together a pretty remarkable story about a young man who discovered his unique God-given potential and did some amazing things.
Our key verse this month is taken directly from instructions that Paul gave Timothy: "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young. Set an example for the believers in what you say and in how you live." - 1 Timothy 4:12a
Timothy was probably around 38 or 40 years old when Paul sent him the letters that are know as 1 and 2 Timothy. Timothy was young for what he was doing. Most people in his position were 20 or more years older. But Timothy didn't have to wait to make a difference.
