Thank you for sharing this quote. Sometimes I get the feeling that Christians don't like to consider our "individuality". We're "supposed to do", should (or shouldn't) do certain things. A Christian shouldn't doubt, or be afraid, or be "different" (or even think certain thoughts.) I'm so glad to know that God not only acknowledges and understands our unique individuality, but that he actually CREATED us to be distinct. We're one of a kind miracles of creation!
