In the the book of 1 Peter chapter 2 we find the following text:
"But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light..." - 1 Peter 2:9
Friend, YOU are chosen. YOU were made for a purpose. YOU are of extreme value. YOU are being called to serve that purpose and to join the army of the Almighty... were you aware of this?
Look at the world around us friend, what do you see? I see hate, violence, aggression, pain, suffering, war, natural disasters, hunger, diseases, greed, lust, avarice, lies, selfishness... should I keep going? The world is coming to an end, Jesus is coming, and God chose you (and created you!) for a purpose. In different ways, we are all called to proclaim the gospel and show the love of Jesus to the world. You and I have been chosen to be different; to be the light in a world filled with darkness. Can you see it?
"And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, 'All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.' Amen." - Matthew 28:18-20
The question is simple: do you accept the responsibility and purpose that you were created for? If you're confused on where to start, let me give you a hint: start by going to God in prayer and asking Him to show you.
Until next one friend...
