From Victoria Osteen in the Foreword of
Encouragement for an Exceptional Life
When something is exceptional, it means that it is better than good; it is outstanding. The exceptional stands out from the crowd, is extraordinary, and is something to be celebrated. You were made by God to be exceptional.
Scripture says you are God’s masterpiece, formed in His image, and created to do great things. You were wonderfully made, with a purpose and a destiny that is distinctly yours. God knew you before you were born, and He designed you to be you, unique and exceptional.
But too often we lose sight of who God made us to be. We don’t recognize the individual gifts and talents that God has placed in us. If we’re not careful, we can allow our God-given attributes to be reduced in our own minds, causing us to see ourselves as merely average, mediocre, or mundane.
