God doesn’t make
cookie-cutter Christians. He makes
snowflakes—and He makes followers. Snowflakes are like people who follow Jesus.
No two snowflakes formed in the entire world have ever been completely identical.
But every real snowflake carries the same properties as every other real
snowflake—they are all made of water; they all function according to the
properties of ice; they are light and beautiful; and yet together they become a
powerful and formidable force. There are no two Christians in the entire world who have ever been completely identical. But every real Christian carries the same properties as every other real Christian—they are all born of water and Spirit; they all function according to the properties of the Holy Spirit; they are the light and beauty of meekness; and yet together, they becomes part of a formidable and powerful force. Being wholly Christ-like doesn’t mean losing your identity—it means being holy like Christ through your identity.
