Continued from page 1
Where do we get these ideas of what's important or acceptable and what isn't? How do we get
gall to look down on people not like us? When did we start thinking God couldn't use people without degrees or that money is proof of God's calling? And, who made our opinion
authority anyway?
God is
author above all authors; who not only used ordinary people, of extra-ordinary faith, to write
Bible (the greatest collection of books ever written), but keeps meticulous books, records, and ledgers in Heaven ... even a diary of memories, Ma. 3:16. Compelling some of God's children with His creative ability to write, when we put them down we put Him down.
If God calls you out to be different, follow Him every step of
way and His purpose will be revealed.
I'm convinced more and more, with each passing day, that we need to quit telling God what He believes and thinks in EVERY given matter. Only then can we begin to know how He sees things.
