Made for Ministry

 You matter. He matters. She matters. We all, members together of the body of Christ,  matter. We matter to God, we matter to the "church", we matter to each other.  The scriptures say we are all part of a building,  that we are "living stones" (1 Peter 2:5). We each have an inborn purpose for which we are set apart by God.  Each of us was brought into the world with a set of specific skills, and talents, that were meant to be used for the glory of God and the edification of the body of Christ.  Now, not everyone will go into "the ministry", because not everyone has been called to the specific offices of pastor, evangelist, prophet,  etc. Not everyone will lead Sunday school or work in the church office. But, and hear me on this, EVERYONE who trusts in Jesus as savior and Lord, is called to be in "ministry".
 No matter where you work, or even IF you work, you are, as a disciple of Christ,  called to munister the gospel to the people you interact with.  Whether you are in a boardroom,  a storeroom, or your children's bedroom,  it's the call of God on your life to speak God's love and redemption, the truth about sin, repentance and forgiveness to your audience.  It doesn't matter if you are rich or poor, healthy or sick, married or single: you have an audience somewhere.
 Don't let the enemy tell you that you don't matter. God made you exactly perfect for the ministry He has called you to.  He gave you talents, skills and experiences that no one else has.  He gave you the right message for just the right moment to bless a certain someone. You matter. You are needed. You are important,  immeasurably important.  If no one else is telling you that,  I am here to tell you that God thinks you are so important that He has you engraved on the palms of His hands (Isaiah 49:16). So get on your knees and accept the love of Jesus,  and thank Him for making you perfect for your ministry,  and then...GO MINISTER!
