God has plans for each of us and he created us each differently. If we stop and look at these three verses we see a pretty common theme; we must accept and be happy with who we are before we can be see and expericene God. Now does that mean we can make ourselves into whatever we want, be happy with it, and then experience God? I don't think so. To a certain extent God did create us each with certain talents, abilities, personalities, etc. While I don't necessarily believe in being pre-destined to everything, I do belive that there are certain traits that make us who we are that God has already laid out for us. If I have blonde hair, can play the piano, but can't play basketball for the life of me, I should accept that is who I am, be comfortable with it and then begin to develop and build a relationship with God.

Matthew 5:5 and Matthew 5:8-9
