This whole Global Challenge has been tough. I've really been struggling to fit into my team and to find my purpose. I spoke to my leader and she said a few things that was needed, but I want to tell you about two things. Fitst she said that you're value is not in your purpose, it is in who you are. Second thing is that we are not human doings, we are human beings. I am not going to elaborate on that, but think about it.
Anyway, continuing. It went really bad with my emotional and spiritual state. I started spending more time with God because that is how I want to overcome things, by handling it with God. I asked my prayer group to please pray for me and told them what was going on. Their prayers carried me and showed me the effect when body of Christ works together.
Please will you pray as well, but this is a good week so far. I love this period as much as it is difficult because I said that I want God to work in me and change me.
I want to become more like Jesus, but I realized that this means I need to learn more about who Jesus is. This sound so simple, but it only became a reality now.
This morning during my personal Bible study time Jesus was so cool. I asked Him if He wanted to change who I am. But I felt not good enough and as if I am a wreck. Does God want me to become quiter? Must I be a little more relaxed? What does is mean that I need to become like Jesus? Was Jesus a quiet person? Does He want to change my personality.
He helped me to understand this process through a comparison. It's like a superhero. Each superhero feels different than the people they are surrounded by. They don't know yet that they were made for something more. Then they start finding out new things that they are capable of. But at first it goes a bit difficult and they make mistakes and get hurt trying to figure out their super powers. They need to learn how to control their super powers.
This is like becoming like Jesus. You are His child. Now you need to become more like Jesus. In this process we make a lot of mistakes trying to figure out how to act and love and live. Now you don't need to fit in anymore and you understand why you are different.
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a PECULIAR PEOPLE ; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
1 Peter 2:9 KJV
Every super hero has a purpose. Our purpose is to make much of Jesus and to give glory to the Father and the Son.
Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
2 Corinthians 5:20 KJV
Last thing to say is that we represent God. Think about what it means to be a representation of God.
Thank you so much for your love and please pray.
