You're a Hero

Christians should fit a mold. They are to be loving, compassionate, meek, generous, and humble. These quality traits make us heroes! As I read my Bible I become more aware of the fact that dedicated Christians are heroes. Christians who have surrendered their life to the Lord become influential in their communities. They impact the world in profound ways.

There was a time when I was deeply frustrated with my walk. I would compare my life to the Biblical example of the twelve disciples, David, and Daniel. I saw my life as mediocre when compared to these great men. I wrestled with God about this insecurity. I want to be significant. I want to be a testimony. I want to change history. I want to move heaven and earth. Do you share this desire? You should. God calls us to live a life that is extraordinary. I am not talking about becoming famous. (Though this might just be what God has ordained for you.) I am talking about restoring the world back to Jesus. That is our mandate!

As I am training to become a professional writer I am starting to realize the weight of my words. My teachers have shared stories about how they wrote a devotional. This devotional stopped a kid from committing suicide. That is my goal. I don't want to become a professional writer so I can be successful and make money. I don't want to flaunt a God-given talent so I can receive praise from men. I want to save lives. You are a hero. God has given you the privilege of restoring broken souls back to their maker! There is no greater call.
