The song "You Raise Me Up" has been sung by many people - Secret Garden, Josh, Becky Taylor, Westlife... Now this guy who is a worship leader is releasing an album and one of the songs is this. Well not that he has a bad voice, but... he is not Josh! And seriously, after Josh, anyone who tries to sing this song, just seem to pale in comparison.
I realized that therein lies an important truth. When we try and copy another person's success, we will fail. Because we are not them. Every time we compare ourselves with others or wished we were someone else - we are doomed to fail. Simply because we will be wanting to be someone other than ourselves, someone whom we were not meant to be.
We are all uniquely made, specially crafted by our loving Father. We all have a purpose that no one, absolutely NO ONE can replace. We were made for different purposes and if we try be someone else, we not only lose the purpose we were made for, we are rejecting the One who created us as well. We are saying His plan for us is not good enough, we want another one.
True fulfilment comes from stepping into the purpose He set us for. Stop comparing. Just be who you were meant to be.
On a side note, watched Prince Caspian today. Absolutely loved it. And by that, I mean, both the movie and the guy =)
