God created You for a REASON. You weren’t an accident. A coincidence. Or a mistake. God had PURPOSE for the time, people and place you were born into.
He needs you to do what HE created You to do.
You have to go where YOU are called.
Your call isn’t like everyone else’s. Otherwise God wouldn’t need You.
You’re DIFFERENT than them. It may feel awkward before you step into your call. But you aren’t awkward, your different.
What makes people criticize you, hate on you, make fun of you, scoff at you today is what God is planning on using.
They don’t have that gift, they don’t understand that way of thinking. They don’t have the ability to operate in the function. They wouldn’t know what to say, how to act or how to accomplish something where you are going.
What makes you peculiar makes you necessary.
Don’t worry about what they say. Chase Him.
Don’t try to fit into what everyone else is doing, you’ll be lost in the crowd.
Follow Him.
The path is narrow, because most people don’t like the criticism of being different.
But you’re not just different – You are CALLED. CHOSEN. SELECTED. INTENDED. NEEDED. Desperately NEEDED.
As God calls to you and opens doors you did not expect, stay close to Him. Oh so close. And as long as you’re close to Him – you don’t have to worry about Them.

Loved your message today! (As always!). Also loved your message yesterday, at church, thought about it long into the night. I’m SO sorry that you were criticized and hated on for whatever you posted on Facebook. Especially from people who KNOW you and know your heart. You are a mighty voice of God and well loved by those around you and I know God loves and cherishes you!! Have a wonderful week!
