Do you ever look at your life and compare it to others and think how theirs is so extraordinary, but yours is just extra-ordinary?
I think we’ve probably all done that at one time or another about something.
Do you have a vision of something big and grand for your life, but you feel that in reality your life is just kind of plain. It’s not quite what you would like to do. Maybe you are content with how it is, but know you could do more.
Do you even wonder what God is up to with your life?
- Wonder what He has planned for you?
- Maybe you had a major detour in life and suddenly you were on a completely different course than you set out on.
- Maybe you aren’t even sure where that road you’re on is heading right now, but you know you’re on it and you’ve gone too far to turn back now. It’s easier to just keep going and see where it leads.
I’ll admit, I look at others sometimes and think, “Wow, how do they do all that?” or “It must be so exciting to d0 ________”. Have you ever thought, “I’m just a______. I could never be used like that by God, or be that talented, or….”?
What would it take for your life to no longer be extra-ordinary, but to be extraordinary?
God created each of us to be unique. We don’t have to compare ourselves to anyone else. We just have to compare ourselves to who we are created to be.
- Do we measure up?
- Are we living as God would have us to live?
- Do we know the purpose He created us for?
- Are we on the path He has set before us?
When we live the life God designed us to live, we have a sense of peace and contentment. We have joy and fulfillment. We have purpose. Life becomes extraordinary. Even if it’s “extra-ordinary”.
What will you do today to live out the life God has designed you to live?
Be extraordinary!
