Each of you as a good manager must use the gift that God has given you to serve others. (1 Peter 4:10 GWT)
What are the differences between a superhero and a villain? Both are usually weird in some way--often due to a mutation of some sort. This uniqueness gives them certain strengths that are different from the crowd. While the superhero uses his powers to serve others, the villain uses his to serve his own agenda.
It takes us a while to figure out that our weirdness is our superpower. It takes even longer to learn to direct our uniqueness in productive ways. For years we moan over our atypicalness, trying to hide it under uniforms of normalcy. In rare moments we may have allowed ourselves to express our individuality, but we fumbled and failed to regulate our powers conscientiously. Some of us may finally learn how to manage our distinctive qualities and use them for the good of humanity rather than for self-serving ambitions. This is why we were given specific gifts and circumstances--so that we may gain different perspectives and adapt our mutations into useful talents that fulfill God’s purposes.
With your very own hands you formed me; now breathe your wisdom over me so I can understand you. (Psalm 119:73 MSG)
This brings to mind all those who have a disabilities and turn it into uniqueness, like Helen Keller. Although blind, deaf and dumb, she was brilliant in her mind and being able to use her disabilities to portray her strong suites.
