The Call I Have Does Not Make Me Superior Merely A Spec of Dust In God's Grand Plan

Today I was reading scripture which is the only thing that makes sense in this crazy life we live. I was blessed by it, along with playing my piano to all the songs me and a worship band played this last sunday. As I go through this life we have this thing where we may be pure, we may be following the rules but we have to remember that does not make us the best. Because I am, and at one time am a sinner. I am not above the things of this world. Clearly I am tempted by the many things around me. I may exempt myself from most of those sinful desires, but it does not make me better than anyone who has tested them, been apart or currently is practicing that in their own life.  God has made me new. But I still struggle. It's an  everyday surrender and asking God to help me. To be in the world and not of it, is a fine line. That's why we sometimes stray not to test out anything because we'd rather be legalistic than be challenged, also to avoid possible addiction, hurt, you know. I still come back to this place with God, because that's what He wants, us to choose to need Him. To not make choices on our own but run to Him and for Him to be the holder of all of our life. It still puzzles me. As I'm going through this summer I realize more and more God just wants to be the writer of our mystery and us to follow Him.

Also the other fact is when God called us, He took us out of our old selves, whether it was divorce, hurt relationships, and everything else that was. In my case, I was saved at an early age, and God called me when I was 5 years old. Of course its not like the journey ended there, with divorce, hurt friendships, hurt family relationships, God called me to rise above the storms like eagles do. We fly above storms and let God heal them, because He can do better than we ever could! Ah. I'm blessed by a deep relationship with God, it seriously couldn't be better than anything in this world.

This verse speaks to me and reminds me that all of this life is not my own, I am not above anyone else. I am simply renewed and God's new creation :D

1 Corinthians 1:26-31
" 26 Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28 God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29 so that no one may boast before him. 30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 31 Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”[a


Mhmmm. God's word says it better than anyway I could say it. So remember that! 


I just wanted to say that anything I do is by God's strength in me, not my own. My life is not my own. I gave it up when I was 5 years old and will never hold it captive ever again. 


So as you are living life as a follower of Christ. Remember God put you where you are at. He took you out of the pain and misery and gave you new eyes, new heart, new soul, new mind, so live like that. Not in your old human body that constantly craves destruction, or is drawn to it unconsciously. 


God is love, He loves you so much.
But remember that you are only a part of God's plan and that everyone in this world has an amazing plan if they would accept it and let God take over and be the lead in their life :D 



I pray God as we go through the rest of this week we would be renewed, transformed and not boastful but give all the glory to You who brought us to a better place :)

  1. Love your reminder that "God put you where you are at. He took you out of the pain and misery and gave you new eyes, new heart, new soul, new mind, so live like that. Not in your old human body that constantly craves destruction, or is drawn to it unconsciously."
