Galatians 6:3: “If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.”
Romans 12:3: “For by the grace given me, I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.”
2 Corinthians 4:7: But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.”
In my journey to be more like Christ, I have learned many things. One thing I’ve learned is: I’m not that special. Now I’m not saying to be an overly critical negative Nancy or anything. That’s not it at all. What I’m saying is that I, on my own, am not that great. I’m human. I’m flawed. I make many, many, many mistakes (more than I care to mention). The things I can do in my own strength are very limited. And the worst part of it all are that things that I do in my own strength only bring glory to me.
Jesus Christ is the epitome of humility and meekness. I mean, how much more humble can you be than God Himself 
coming down to earth, becoming like us and saving us? But yet even with Him being who He is, not once did He do anything that wouldn’t bring glory to God the Father or take the focus off of Him. That right there is greatness. Me, on the other hand? Not so much. While Jesus was fulfilling the Father’s will, sacrificing Himself for the world and changing it in the process, here I am, little ol’ me. Being overly concerned about my own little world and what’s going to benefit me or convenience me, etc. God is not that narrow minded. But I, in my human fleshly nature, am that narrow minded. So I’m not that great. But the beautiful thing is that I can be.
What I have found is that what can make me special is not me at all. What makes me special is the fact that my identity is found in Christ and Christ alone. The fact that I was created in His image (Genesis 1:26-27). The fact that He knit me together in my mother’s womb nearly 29 years ago and ordained each of my days (Psalm 139:13, 16). Without Him, I am nothing. It’s Him that gives me worth. It’s Him who has given me life, breath, purpose, hope, strength, and salvation. Now THAT is special. None of these things I can do on my own. Apart from God, I am nothing special. I’m nothing but an empty, lowly, unassuming jar of clay in whom God so mercifully decided to shine His light through and THAT is what makes me special.
Anything special you see about me, isn’t me at all. It’s all God!
