Created for "Choice Work"

I often tell people, "God has a specific plan and purpose for your life. Your job is to discover His plan and then fulfill it. Then, and only then will you have a fulfilling life."

The response I get is so often the same: "What good am I to God? How could He possibly want to use me?"

The problem is, so many people have such low self-esteem that they believe they’re worthless........even to God. But that’s not the case at all! Psalm 139:16 says, "Your eyes saw me when I was only a fetus. Every day of my life was recorded in your book before one of them had taken place." God created you just the way you are, and He did it ON purpose FOR A purpose!

Years ago a traveler visited a logging area in the Pacific Northwest. He watched with great curiosity as a logger, working alongside a mountain stream, would periodically jab his sharp hook into a log as it went past and separate it from the others. This visitor could not see any reason as to why the logger would grab certain logs and let others go by.

When the visitor asked the logger about it, he replied, "These logs may all look alike to you, but I can recognize that a few of them are quite different. The ones that I let pass by grew in a valley where they were always protected from the storms. Their grain is rather coarse. But the logs that I have pulled aside come from high up on the mountains. They were beaten by strong winds from the time they were quite small. This toughens the trees and gives them a fine grain. We save these logs for choice work. They are too good to be used for ordinary lumber."

Here’s what is so cool about God: EVERY person is created for "choice work". No one is "ordinary" with God. Not you, not your co-workers, not your spouse or you kids.......no one. God made everyone specifically how He wanted them to be made, and He has a purpose for every individual to fulfill.

And friend, when you discover that purpose and begin to fulfill it, you’re going to find joy and peace and satisfaction like you’ve never known it before. Let me encourage you to talk to God in prayer and seek to discover His plan for your life. I promise you, it will be the most fulfilling thing you’ll ever do!!
