Heaven’s Halley’s Comet

I read this the other day, and it was just what I needed to read.

Heaven’s Halley’s Comet

God made you and broke the mold.
Every single baby is a brand-new idea.
No one can duplicate your life.
Scan history for your replica – you won’t find it.
God personally formed and made each one.
No box of “backup yous” sits in God’s workshop.
You aren’t one of many bricks in the mason’s pile or one of a dozen bolts in the mechanic’s drawer.
YOU ARE IT!
And if you aren’t you, we don’t get you.
The world misses out.
You are heaven’s Halley’s comet.
We have one shot at seeing you shine.
You offer a gift to society that no one else brings.
If you don’t bring it, it won’t be brought!

~ Max Lucado (Cure for the Common Life)
