Every snowflake is different (and there were a bunch of them falling today). How strange that God would “waste” His creativity on something as insignificant as snowflakes. Yet He does it with a flair!
Today we took the kids across the border to France for a grocery shopping/day trip. While I packed the bags of groceries into the van (lots of American and American-ish stuff), Emma was amazed at how cool the snowflakes looked on the window. It was still cold, so they hadn’t melted off yet. And each one looked so perfect!
It got me thinking about God’s creativity. Every snowflake is different (and there were a bunch of them falling today). How strange that God would “waste” His creativity on something as insignificant as snowflakes. Yet He does it with a flair!
We are also unique…each of us has unique fingerprints and retinas—even in the case of biological twins—and DNA! Not only are you different from every other person alive (nearly 7 billion people), you are different from every other person ever to walk the face of this planet. God made you special! He created you on purpose, for a purpose!
Not only do we each have a unique purpose, but we also have a unique way in which we connect with God. Of course, there are the normal ways: praise and worship, Bible reading, prayer, solitude, etc. But since we’re one-of-a-kind creations, we are to have a one-of-a-kind relationship with God. I encourage you to spend some time this week asking God to reveal your uniqueness to you…and how He has designed your one-of-a-kind relationship with Him to be.

After resigning from his Associate Pastor position in a mega-church in the north Dallas, TX area, Jon and Robin moved their family to Germany in October 2001. There they focused on empowering European church leaders through mentoring and coaching, as well as teaching in seminars, conferences, roundtables and Bible Schools. They also planted a number of churches and youth groups throughout central Europe.
After planting and pastoring a “church for those who don’t do church” in Freiburg, Germany, they returned to the Texas Hill Country in August 2014 to help U.S. churches prepare for the coming Post-Christian cultural shift. Jon’s book, The Coming Post-Christian Tsunami is available in print and Kindle formats from Amazon.com.
Although they reside in the Texas Hill Country, they continue to equip Christian leaders throughout Europe and North America.
Jon and Robin have been married since 1993 and have three children: Ryan, Ashton and Emma.
