Antonio Stradivari was a seventeenth-century violin maker whose name in its Latin form, Stradivarious, has become synonymous with excellence. He once said:
"When any master holds, 'twixt chin and hand, a violin of mine, he will be glad Stradivari lived, made violins, and made them to his best. If my hand slacked - I should rob God...... because He is the fullest Good. God could not Stradivari's violins without Antonio."
He was right. God could not make Stradivarious violins without Antonio Stradivari. Certain gifts were given to that craftsman that no other violin maker possessed.
In the same vein, there are certain things you can do that no one else can. Perhaps it is parenting, or constructing houses, or encouraging the discouraged.
There are things that only you can do, and you are alive to do them. In the great orchestra we call life, you have an instrument and a song, and you owe it to God to play them both sublimely. ~ The Applause of Heaven by Max Lucado
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. ~ Psalm 139:14
