God’s Audacious Choice: Embracing Your Imperfect Calling
Jesus didn’t seek polished resumes or synagogue endorsements when selecting his disciples. He bypassed the conventional wisdom of qualification, choosing a fiery fisherman, Peter, and a notorious tax collector, Matthew.
Imagine a modern consulting firm’s report: “Unsuitable. Peter’s temper is volatile. Matthew’s reputation is compromised. Thomas displays chronic doubt.” Yet, Jesus, with divine insight, saw potential where others saw flaws.
This wasn’t an oversight but a deliberate act. Jesus chose them, imperfections and all, just as He chooses you. Remember, you’ve been handpicked by the Creator of the cosmos. You are a cherished member of God’s family, His masterpiece, intricately and wonderfully formed. Don’t let the whispers of fear, the shadows of insecurity, or the weight of guilt hold you captive.
Father, thank You for seeing beyond our limitations. Thank You for choosing us, flawed yet beloved, just as You chose Peter and the others. Help us to see ourselves as You see us, masterpieces in progress. We look beyond our perceived shortcomings and step into the greatness You’ve destined for us. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Embrace your divine purpose. To clasp the hands in prayer is the beginning of an uprising against the disorder of the world. Let that uprising begin in you.
Walk daily with God at your side!
Love always
Ed 🙏🏼
