Then we met a lady who was out foraging for mushrooms and it was fascinating to have her show us so many different varieties she’d found that day. She was really enthusiastic and while she saw them as food supply, I saw them as little houses! We are all so very different aren’t we?
God has made us all as individuals, not one of us is the same but each and every one of us is precious in His sight. He calls us His treasured possessions, His masterpiece! Now we may not feel like it but just take it by faith. You are special to God! You’re not ordinary, not average, not mediocre.
God has never made a nobody, He made you somebody, He made you a child of the Most High God. You are called and chosen by Him to be in His family because it pleased Him to, and how wonderful that is.(Ephesians 1:5) You belong to Him. God has placed inside each of us His very own nature, we’re made in the image and likeness of God and His Spirit lives inside our born again spirit.
We don’t just belong to God, He has a purpose for us being here at this moment in time. It may be that we can use our natural interests or talents for His Kingdom but more importantly He has also placed in all of us His spiritual gifts for us to use for His glory, to help others to find Jesus too.(1Cor.12:7)
Just as the mushroom lady was enthusiastic, we too can be enthusiastic for Jesus, for all He has done for us. We’re walking testimonies of His goodness and mercy, so let’s allow others to see our enthusiasm and His joy in us today.
1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
