All God's Children by Steffanie Tidwell

Isaiah 46:5 KJV  To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?

God created us in his own image.  Therefore He favors us equally.  But I believe He favors us in different ways.

For example, the Bible says Mary was HIGHLY favored of God.  god gave Mary Jesus.  I think He called Mary to have Jesus because she had what it took, and what God was looking for.

I know it's not the same callings that we see in the church today.  But it was a mighty calling, and God had a mission, and needed a willing vessel.  Mary was the vessel.

I think the Christians are favored of God because we try to show this world what God is all about.  I think every christian has a different mission or calling from God.  Maybe we are equal, but our calling is different.

It was once said, "It's better to try and fail, than to not to try at all"

Philippians 4:13 says "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!!

So there is really no reason to be scared to try, because fear doesn't come from God.

Maybe you are called to be a prayer warrior.  You may think it's simple, but it might not be simple for the person you are praying for.  I don't think God takes it lightly either.

You may not seem like much to yourself, but you are something to God!

We don't know what God knows, and we don't see the situations in the way God does, but in the end, if we stick by Him, its going to be His plan that comes through.

You may not have the same job as a Pastor, but maybe, just maybe, you are the prayer warrior, praying for the Pastor.  Or maybe you are the prayer warrior praying for the lost souls that is fixing to be saved.  Only God knows what you are doing.  We are all equal.  The souls we are praying for are our brothers and sisters.  We may not see it that way, but I believe God does.

We are ALL God's children!
