Stand. But where are you to stand?
You are to stand where no counerfeit is allowed.
You are to "stand within your uniqueness.
That is the one place no one else can stand, and the only place that you can stand and be authentic.

You are unique, not-one-in-a-million but one-of-a-kind.
Had God made anyone else like you, one of you would have been unnecessary.
And since you are present and accounted for, you are the unique one, the only one of you the world knows.

You are an individual. No, you are the individual, the only one who can conform to and express your uniqueness.
                                                                                                                                 It is not easy to stand within your uniquiness, to be yourself, nobody but yourself, in a world that is determined to make you be, do, think, and feel like somebody else.

"You must be born again," a resounding message rings out to you from the day you were born until the day you die.

To be yourself you must fight the hardest fight that any human being can ever fight and never stop fighting. But that is a fight worth fighting. That is the good fight. As a natural-born warrior you are equipped to fight that fight. What better way can you live out your days and pursue your calling than to fight to be yourself? Defending your territorial uniqueness is the most important battle you'll ever fight. You see, this is exclusively your own preferred property. It is your soul property.

This Divine mandate has ordered you to stand. And having done all to stand, stand.
No excuse, no alibi, no DNA hereditary-predetermined-predestined-consignment-fabrication-of-your-uniqueness aimed at defying the Creator's design of your person is admissible as evidence to justify you being inauthentic. That is a lie that must  be rejected if you are to be authentic -- nobody but yourself.

Again the message is clear, stand within your uniqueness.
It is only by standing within your uniqueness that you are able to be beauty that is a joy forever and eternal as the heavens.
