Recently my son was a candidate for an honor at school. A classmate protested, her eyes rolling, “Not him, he gets enough recognition.” She may someday learn, as a child of God, that He has callings and benefits without limit for all who would embrace them as the gifts they are.
My son takes great joy in being helpful and congenial. He often returns home from school pleased that he was able to help a teacher or comfort a friend and occasionally perplexed when he is met with derision for it. Focus on God and His will, my son, and leave the complaints to Him.
God has made each one a vast field of capabilities and missions. One person’s life’s work can be as grand and far-reaching as he or she will abide to in Christ. No one knows God’s plan for another and attempting to make it smaller in any way is denying a shaft of His light to come forth.
I have put up walls myself, sometimes because of the jeers of others, sometimes because of the doubt that I could become all that He made me to be. I can keep myself hemmed in and not in service to God’s great will for me or I can remember that God is on the other side of that fence waiting to join me in whatever endeavor He has planned for us.
I am created in the image of God. His will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. The fruit of His children can never be too much or too many, for it is all to His great glory
So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:27
