Morning Inspiration with Pastor Merritt
In the early 1980’s a British geneticist named Alec Jeffreys made a surprising discovery in the process of mapping human genes. He extracted DNA molecules from samples of blood cells and then using X-ray and computer analysis he discovered that every person with the exception of identical twins has a unique genetic fingerprint. He said this almost 30 years ago,
“You would have to look for one part in a million, million, million, million, million before you would find one pair with the same genetic fingerprint. With the world population of only 5 billion it can be categorically said that a genetic fingerprint is individually specific and that any pattern excepting identical twins does not belong to anyone on the face of this planet who ever has been or ever will be.”
To put that in simple terms there is nobody just like you. There never has been and there never will be.
That is important to keep in mind when you are going through tough times, because the you that you see is the you that you will be. If you see yourself as being different, unique and special it will radically change your self-concept. When your concept of who you are is what it ought to be, you can manage to remain still standing even when life has given you tough shots. You can know that God has a dream for you. God has a unique path for you and if you will just stay true to Him, He will bring to pass in your life what He needs to. The sad thing is these brothers were all so unique and they were all so special, but they fell into the trap of comparison. They allowed jealously for a long time to completely destroy their relationship with their own brother. When you understand that you are unique and you quit comparing yourself with others every relationship you have with friends and family will automatically go to a new level.
