It's Just Me
Consider what God says about you
New friends: During the
past few weeks, I have been corresponding with a well known couple. The
circumstances that began our association were the
God-ordained-never-happen-in-a-million-years kind. But God knows how to
find us, how to use us, and how to bring His promises to pass. Now, with
every e-mail, I am reminded that we are all one family in service to our
Lord.
Some folks go before us, out into the spotlight of
life. Some folks work behind the scenes quietly moving mountains. And some
folks take on the ordinary day-to-day tasks of life that keep the world in
order. I do the ordinary. Maybe you do too. But that is not to say we are
ordinary. We are not.
According to God’s Word ...
We are … a holy people … forgiven ... chosen … the
sons and daughters of God … blessed … His temple … His children … loved …
sanctified … set apart … assigned … His army … doers of His Word … more
than conquerors ... mighty … empowered … anointed ... well able … favored
… heirs of righteousness … of the household of God.
Our best friend: And if
that isn't enough, the scriptures tell us that the Lord is our best friend
- a friend who sticks closer than a brother! Knowing this, we must never
again minimize who we are. We must never again say, "It's just me."
The next time you are tempted to diminish who you are
and your contribution to the world around you, consider what God says
about you. His words are truth.
In Him ... YOU are amazing.
