While at the jeep on my way home, an insight flashed through my mind after seeing a man checking on the value of something precious. "The value of a matter increases as its rarity increases", just like of genuine diamond in a pile of mine.
Who among the 7,049,134,200 people here on earth knows that he is precious? There is no other you not just on earth but in the whole creation. You are not just rare, but unique! The way you talk, the way your mind flows, the number of your hair and how you cry is uniquely you. No one can replace your existence for there is one and only you.

There is nothing wrong with looking up to people, but trying to imitate others for the sake of self-security would surely turn your value down. The most valuable you is the unique you. Each and everyone of us is fearfully and wonderfully made by our Creator (Psalm 139:14). To discover your gifting, talents, your own mechanism would be the best thing that you can do to yourself- a recovery of your real worth. Though the enemy stole our value after the fall of men, Jesus reclaimed our true value on the cross.
Where can we find our true self? I believe David's life is an example, as he cried "One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek, that I may dwell in His temple, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord all the days of my life" (Ps 27:4). The Presence of our Creator is the only place where we can find our unique self, for we are made in the image and likeness of God! (Gen 1:26)
