You are 100% unique in the kingdom. You are not one of many, you are one of one. There is no one else to accomplish what God the father has set out for you to accomplish; your personality, your skills, your trials and tribulations, your pain and your joy, they are all unique to you. They are the recipe that is your make up, that has created you, to make you and mold you into who you are today.
Every pain, every sorrow, every rejection, every fear, every sin, every backstep, every bad decision, every discomfort, everything you have done has ALL been bought by God, and He paid the absolute highest price price He could pay (1 Cor 6:20, 1 Cor 7:23). The utter destruction, decimation, humiliation of His Son, The Lord of Heaven’s armies, the Co-Creator of the universe.
The past that you hold on to, that you clamor and that you cry about, that you ask God “why me”, that past… it’s NOT YOURS, it’s God’s (Gal 2:20). You turned over the keys to your past when you gave Jesus your life, when the Holy Spirit came to take residency within you (1 Cor 3:16, Rom 8:11). You’re not trapped to your past, the shame of your past is no longer yours, it’s been given to Jesus (2 Cor 5:21), who destroyed every bit of the evil of it at the Cross. So now, rejoice that the new life that you’ve been given is yours to co-live with Jesus, as this new life is made clean, made new as you call on HIm.
Think you have nothing to give, to with, to offer to God for him to use? He created the first human with dust (Gen 2:7). Think about that for a minute. Dirt. The stuff you wipe off your feet, wash off your hands, hate when you get it on anything. But to God, this was enough to create the gene pool of all of mankind. We are alive today because of dirt. And you, you are so much more than this (Job 33:4). You have the ability to think, to speak, to create, to move, to touch, to feel, to heal, to love (Acts 17:28).
You cannot comprehend what you are capable of (1 Cor 2:9), if you would allow yourself to be fully available and used by God. If in humility, submission and full surrender, allow the embodiment of Love (1 John 4:8) to direct your life, your actions, your thoughts and words (Phil 4:8), you will become a superhuman, supernaturally charged to bring about the perfect will of God here on Earth. To unleash the power of God on this planet (John 14:12). The supernatural partnership of God and his children, you (Gal 3:26, 1 John 3:2), capable of ANYTHING!, where even the Gates of hell cannot prevail (Matt 16:18).
