Do you think God has a different purpose for every person, ' Gisela asked, 'or is his purpose the same for everyone?'..' God wants us all to strive to grow more like Jesus, to become holy as he is holy, but God has a specific purpose for each person. How could it not be so? Everyone in a village cannot be a baker, because who would then make the candles or shoe the horses or grow the food? God says we are like a body. 'The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you." And the head cannot say the feet, "I don't need you."'' Does the Bible say that?'' Oh, yes, and it says, "Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is part of it." Just as the villagers are part of a village and have different tasks, we all have tasks to do for the Lord God.Melanie Dickerson
About This Quote
Do you think God has a different purpose for every person, Gisela asked, or is his purpose the same for everyone? God’s plans and purposes are not your or mine. They are different for each of us. God has a specific plan and purpose for each of us, which we must strive to grow more like Jesus, to become holy as he is holy. We all have tasks to do for the Lord God.
