Ordinary. The world shouts that at me. There is nothing different about you, or special. You are common. Plain. I look at my life & I am married, two children, a house, a van, a yard. What have I done that is different? And so I start to believe it. I am ordinary. But when I swallow that LIE, it grows & it begins to take the form of, “You are inferior.” Somehow God in His mercy, shouts louder, “Don’t believe it.” He has made me. He has created me for a purpose that He chose for my life befoe He created anything else. He has spun everything in place just so I can live out His purposes for my life. All of a sudden ordinary takes on a whole other look. Suddenly, it begins to look like EXTRAORDINARY! Yes, that is what He has made me, made each of us.

Yes, the lie of ordinary that tells us we are nothing special. This is one I must fight too often. We are extraordinary because of Christ. Thank you for this! Visiting from Lisa-Jo’s place 😉
Yes, fight we must! Thank you for stopping by!
What a powerful post! Short and sweet and to the point. Perfectly on the mark. I love being reminded that we are indeed extraordinary because of who we are in Christ. (Just popped over from FMF.)
Thank you. So glad you stopped by 🙂
Oh yes, never believe the lie you are ordinary. You may not have your own TV show, or own a million dollar house, but you are special to the many people who are in your life and to the One wh o created you.
Absolutely!
