of great worth

 

You are...unique...imbued with characteristics never so combined before...the world will never again experience another you!

 

The other day it hit me that one of the amazing things about God's design is very personal.  In all of history...time past, time present and time yet to come there is only one of you.  There will only be one human being who carries your unique set of characteristics.  Each of us has much in common, in general, with every other person, but yet each of us has a makeup that is solely ours.  God has chosen this narrow sliver of time for your unique basket of gifts, personality, energy, weakness, and interests to be present on the world stage.  In all of time...this is your time and it is no accident that you have been placed here.  There must be some special purposes, some God-ordained reasons that led Him to assign your life to the early 21st century.  Sometimes we make comments like: "I wish I lived back then when life was simple".  Indeed it may be that we are headed for turbulent times in the days ahead.  But, with confidence and with faith, let's look to the One who has selected this intersection of place and time for us and let's trust that He will show us the work He has for us.  Remember what Jesus said to the Disciples when they brought Him food one time.  John 4:32-34 But He said to them, “I have food to eat of which you do not know.”  Therefore the disciples said to one another, “Has anyone brought Him anything to eat?”  Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work."
