YOU-nique

You-nique! It must be a "new to me" buzz-word of sorts, with unique spelling for emphasis! I first heard it in an Allen Bible "Wired" sermon series, emphasizing how we are all uniquely created and wired by God for His purposes. 

Our giftedness differs with individuals but we are all"fearfully and wonderfully made by Him." (Psalm 139:13-14) It's an inward work for His children to be used for the lifting up of  the saints and for God's glory. (1 Corinthians 10:31)

The other uses have been more secular and "me" focused.......from preschool songs to multi-level marketing schemes (MLMs)---to uplift, empower and validate women who use their cosmetic products. 

"All about me" comes to mind. 

This week I saw it in my Dove dark chocolate & mint swirl wrapper. I'm not sure of Bethany's meaning, whether it's self-centered or God centered.I believe one's true You-niqueness needs to be more God-centered and other-centered than self-centered.

YOU-Niqueness---Not because of who you are but whose you are. 

We are truly unique, anyway you spell it, because of who He is!

I'm just sayin'
