The Imprint

Every human being is born with an imprint on them. We could liken it to a permanent tattoo from God.

It marks us…as important, needed, wanted, valuable, vital, individual, and truly unique.

That’s nonsense! I don’t feel any of those things, I know I’m nothing special…just a ordinary human being.

*Ordinary = no special or distinctive features, uninteresting, commonplace.

*Unique = being the only one of its kind; unlike anything else. particularly remarkable, special or unusual

Everybody likes their pet. They’re lots of dogs, cats, horses, even cows, but each one, although they may appear similar, is instantly recognizable by the owner.

Their special features …hair, build, eyes, strength, color, disposition distinguish them from the others.

That’s us! Each is imprinted with a special look, talent, skill set, personality, nationality, likes/dislikes to function perfectly where we are placed in the world to advance it and make things better…because we are there!

Can you believe that? You are where you are …with God’s name-tag on you, signifying He crafted you! and will stand behind you! to help you do what you really want to do!

After all, God puts those dreams, desires and wishes inside us to strengthen, grow, and improve this earth, to live a better life each day.

Begin to look for the imprint placed on your life and move forward in it.

God, Himself, will help you.

The Peoples’ God

God is the peoples’ God.

He is not a God of dignitaries, kings and religious institutions that you must belong to or become before you can reach Him. He is a God of the common folk, the ordinaries, like you and me.

He loves to show Himself strong, and how can His strength be best shown except when compared to the weak? God is our, your, my strength-a very present help in time of trouble. And we seem to have a lot of trouble lurking around in our lives sometimes, don’t we?

He is the God of the ordinary people.

He is for the people.

We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

All of us.

All who believe.

Which means:

If you’re ordinary, you qualify—

You qualify for all God has stated in His word.

They shall be My people, and I will be their God. Hebrews 8:11
