You Are Somebody


"For whom He did foreknow, He also did predistinate to be comformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren." Romans 8:29

Some of us were born to parents who wanted us and rejoiced at our birth. They received us joyfully as precious gifts from God. They raised us as best they could.
Others seem to have been biological accidents, arriving unplanned, unexpected, unwelcomed, and unloved.
No matter what the circumstances of your birth, you are not just a happenstance of nature. God made you!! God uses the best intentions of people. He can also overrule the worst intentions to accomplish His purpose.
God once used a condemned child of a slave woman. By a remarkable twist of events the Lord not only preserved the life of that boy but also gave him the advantages of growing up in a palace. God used strange circumstances to raise up a leader for His ancient people. Yet, when He finally called moses into special service, Moses asked, "Who am I?" (Exodus 3:11). He had self-doubts, felt unfit.
It didn't matter who Moses was or who he had been. What did matter was that God had called him. God wanted to make somebody special out of him.
When you ask, "How come I am what I am?" assure yourself; "By the grace of God I am what I am." (1 Corinthians 15:10)

You are special. God made you!!

Every moment, Every situation, Every issue, and Every concern has a positive side. Find it and bring it to life.
