You Were Meant For More

You Were Meant For More is the title of a Nov. 23rd blog post by pastor William Vanderbloemen. Here's his post:

Chances are, God has a higher view of you than you do. Here’s what He says about you:

You are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God’s instruments to do his work and speak out for him, to tell others of the night-and-day difference he made for you—from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted. (1 Peter 2:9-10, The Message)

Do you ever find yourself thinking you’re just a face in the crowd. That you’re in a rut that won’t ever end? Ever wonder if you will ever amount to anything?

It’s easy to fall into the trap of believing that you are just a face in the crowd, a number in the masses, or a wisp of air. Today’s “First Thought” comes out of some pretty jarring words from Peter’s first letter in the New Testament. Let those words sink in. Let them make a difference in the way you view yourself.

You are a difference maker. You have been called to be a contributor to the greatest movement the world has ever known. God wants to use you to change the world, one life at a time. How? by telling those you see what a difference God has made in your life.

In the season leading up to Christmas, people around you are more ready than you know to hear that God loves them, that God matters, and that their lives can change.

Who can you talk to? What can you tell them about the difference God has made in your life?

It will mean more than can imagine.
