You are His

There is a quote attributed to Leila Janah that says, "Talent is equally distributed, opportunity is not." There are some really intelligent people that for reasons beyond his/her control cannot afford to go to college. They would do really well in college, they would make great instructors, doctors, corporate leaders, but, they don't have the means necessary to attain the higher education.

There are others that really don't want to go to college; they don't want to be instructors, doctors, or corporate leaders but their parents have been a little more economically blessed or savvy and they have made a way to assist or pay for higher education. Now, their children will go and will get a degree of some kind but they will never apply themselves as some of the less fortunate ones.

Now, I am not saying that either child, either situation is better than the other. GOD has a plan for each and every one of us, whether we be rich, poor, handsome, looks-challenged, athletic, non-athletic, intelligent or intellectually-challenged. Not only does GOD have a plan for us, regardless of circumstances or abilities, He has a place for us.

Today's word is Galatians 4:7, NLT, which reads, "Now you are no longer a slave but GOD'S own child. And since you are His child, GOD has made you His heir."

As children of GOD, we don't need to get wrapped up and frustrated by all the circumstances in our lives. Now, we need to do our best to use what GOD has given us. But, we definitely need to recognize the fact that, while things may not seem equally distributed in this life, we are heirs of the King. This world may beat us down and keep us down, BUT, one day we will enjoy the benefits of being a child of GOD, the King of Kings and the LORD of lords. Look up child, you are His!

Be Blessed,
