We are all put on earth to make a contribution.
It’s the same thing that drives us to ask the question, “What on earth am I here for?” That need has been placed in our hearts by the Lord our God. He has created us to serve just as the example he gave us through his son Jesus.
We were made in the image of God, we were made in that image so we could be like God, learn to live in his ways. From before time itself our existence was planned by our loving Father in heaven. When we learnt the truth and accepted Christ, we were saved, so that we may come to know the true meaning of our lives and to live to the full. We were not saved so that we can “reserve” a place in heaven and then sit back and relax, the reality is that if we accept and do not act we don’t really believe. So we have to serve God.
God has made it quite clear that we are to serve, but he hasn’t just nudged us along, the call to serve is a command. With the example of Jesus, it is not just a suggestion that we serve, but the command that we are to obey.
We are never too ugly, we never have too many problems or too many hang-ups that God cannot use us. But we have to be willing. If I hold anything back then I have not given it to God. All those people in the people were way from perfect and they were all used by God to do wonderful and miraculous things. They were not perfect, but they did give their whole lives over to God to do as he saw fit.
