To every man God—not man—has given his work. This is an individual work—the formation of a character after the divine similitude. The lily is not to strive to be like the rose. There are distinctions in the formation of the flowers and in the fruits, but all derive their peculiar variance from God.... So it is God′s design that even the best of men shall not all be of the same character. A life consecrated to the service of God will be developed and beautified in its individuality. (OHC 90.5) MC VC
