How cherished are you by the Holy One that your very existence gives all those among his people who meet you an opportunity to fulfill an extra mitzvah in loving and accepting you; the fact that you feel you stand out is not something to be ashamed of, but rather part of the glorious tapestry that is His ineffable plan.
