You

Oscar Fingal O’Flahertie Wills Wilde (1854-1900), was an Irish writer and poet. He became one of London’s most popular playwrights in the early 1890s. There are many memorable quotes from his writings, but the other day one especially caught my attention. Here is what it said:

“Be yourself. Everyone else is taken.”

We smile at a statement like this that seems so elementary and obvious, but it got me thinking of how every child of God is an individual in His vast family, and how we each have a unique place to fill in our service for Christ. We are told, “But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another” (Galatians 6:4). When we try to be someone or something we are not is when we get into trouble. There is no power or blessing in pretence. God has made you, YOU! Be who you are and don’t try to be somebody else. Paul said to the Corinthians, “Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called” (1 Corinthians 7:20). That’s where the blessing and fruit will result in your life.
