Beyond Priceless: Who God Is When I Feel... ಮಾದರಿ

When I Feel Ordinary, God Is BEYOND PRICELESS

If you’ve ever felt ordinary, you are experiencing what most of us experience as we begin to become more aware of ourselves and the world around us. As our world becomes bigger, we sometimes feel smaller and less sure of who we are. Believe it or not, that’s how God designed it. He perfectly planned the stages of our life so that as we grew up, we would need to press into Him more, and when we did, we would discover how big He is. 

God is beyond priceless! He’s BEYOND my imagination. God is holy. He is majestic. He is love. God is everywhere. He’s the air that I breathe. I can’t fully understand Him, but I can know Him personally and intimately. 

Sometimes God lets us run out of our high view of ourselves so we can grasp a higher view of Him! But that does not mean we are ordinary. That just means that we are perfectly set up for God to fill us with more of His love and power and attributes, making us into something extraordinary!

You can’t be ordinary. There is no one like you. Guess what? You are an ORIGINAL! No one else has your same awesome laughter, your personality, your intricate mind. When God handcrafted and designed you, He had eternity in mind. He sees who you will become when you are filled with His Spirit. When He looks at you, He sees His unique plan only you can fulfill and the lives only you can impact for eternity. He has something for your life that is far bigger and greater than you could ever dream. And that, sweet friend, is why He lets you experience a brief struggle with feeling ordinary, so you can discover how to be extraordinary through Him!

Dear great I AM,

I’m not going to lie; sometimes I feel unseen, unheard, overlooked, and invisible. Then I realize that I can’t be ordinary, because I have the Holy Spirit, God Himself, living inside of me. Wow, Lord, You are beyond priceless. Reveal to me more of who You are! Let who You are overshadow who I am. 

One of the most extraordinary young girls in all of history started out as an ordinary teenager. Mary, the mother of Jesus, was just a normal girl from a low-income family until she was chosen to carry a priceless treasure into the world: Jesus! You, too, hold the most priceless treasure, the hope of the world inside you. It doesn’t matter who you are or what you’ve done because you are invited to trade your ordinary qualities for God’s extraordinary qualities!
