One-of-a-Kind Gem
If I measure me against me,
I could be six foot three.
If I measure me against YOU,
I’m not even two foot two!
So, who do I use?
What feet do I choose?
Who carries my blues?
Who walks in my shoes?
“No one,” You say?
God took His soft clay
And molded a shape –
Unique! Full of play!
God gifted your soul
Full of treasure untold.
Then He threw out the mold.
You’re more precious than gold.
Who do I measure myself against then?
Do I look at my friends, compare me with them?
“No one,” God smiles. “I’ll say it again,
You’re a unique, one-of-a-kind gem!”

I am sooo grateful to have YOU for a daughter! You’re my one-of-a-kind gem!!
Very good, you one-of-a-kind gem!
Oh Jan, I absolutely love this! So true that we seldom measure up in our own eyes. So thankful we just need to be who God created us to be. Blessings to you.
Thanks for the feedback.Now if I could just figure out who God created me to be, I’d be praising my Lord even louder! It’s that insight to know God’s will for my life – that discernment – that’s the tough part. Thanks for the blessings. Sure love ’em!!
It’s a great message, Jan!
