Have you ever noticed that all the mentally imbalanced individuals populating the mental health institutions throughout the world think they are God or the devil, some say they have super powers. Some of these poor folks think they can fly or have superman like strength. None ever think they are the Milkman or the Garbage man or how about a Farmer?
It seems interesting that Jesus calls the people that make up the church, “a body”. He said some are like Ears some are like Eyes, some like Arms, Legs or Feet, and He goes on to explain how important each part is, and how vital it is that all the parts do their part. Jesus explained how all the parts need each other and that no one part is more important than any other
Everyone who will read this has had some point in their life when they have wished to be someone else, or at least possess what someone else had. We see others in a way that is different from the way we see ourselves. We look at others and we ask God why others have what we want. Instead we need to ask God to show us all that He has given us. If we spend all our time looking at others how can we ever see ourselves for who we really are?
If you ask the people you admire, how they do the things that you admire them for, most of them will not think much of the things they do well.
God is an amazing God, always creating new things. Power beyond our comprehension, Omnipresent and Omnipotent, The Beginning and the End! The list goes on, so is it safe to say that He knows what he is doing and that He doesn’t make mistakes.
The Bible says God breathe life into us; we are not some cosmic accident.
You and I are created with purpose, a very special purpose. We have been given a task and who we are is the perfect match for what God expects of us. No one else can do what you do the way you do it, you are special and unique.
Ephesians 3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. 7In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace 8that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. 9And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment—to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ.
You are an awesome creation of the most Incredible God.
This weekend call a friend and ask them what you do best, and what makes you special. I am sure you will be surprised by all the nice things people will have to say. Perhaps God will use some of your friends and family to open your eyes to His blessing in your life.
Have a great week and I’ll see you soon.
Be Blessed,
Steve
