God has an assignment for you that nobody else can fulfill. God wants you. He wants your gifts, your smile, your love, your passion. You are a part of His divine plan. He says,

“Your Lord said to the angels, “Indeed I am going to set a viceroy on the earth”. (Qur’an, 2:30)1

You have something to offer nobody else can offer. Nobody has your exact personality, your exact looks. There is something unique about you. Almighty God says in the Qur’an,

“We have offered the trust to the heavens and the earth, and the mountains, but they refused to bear it, and were fearful of it. But the human being accepted it”. (Qur’an; 33:72)2

Do not wear that “average” label. If you think you are average, then you will be average. If you think you are ordinary, then you will live an ordinary, “get by life” and never do anything great. The truth is “there is nothing ordinary about you. You have the fingerprints of God all over you. The Creator of the universe breathed from His spirit into you.”3

He crowned you with His favor. You have royal blood flowing through your veins. You have a destiny to fulfill, something greater than you have ever even imagined.

“He wants you to strive in the cause of God its truly deserved striving. He has chosen you and has not placed before you any obstacle in the religion”. (Qur’an; 22:78)4

So, embrace His truth; embrace His love and embrace the blessings He has in store for your future! Pray every day and say, “O my lord, thank You for equipping me and choosing me to be Your ambassador on earth. Help me to be Your light and use my gifts and talents to lead others to know You”.
