How amazing is that? Do you realize what that means? It means you cannot be too old, too sick, too brainless, too sad, too ANYTHING (because God knew you'd be those things) to do the work that He prepared for YOU to do. Only you. There is work to do for God that only you can do, because you were created for it and it was created for you.
Other people's lives may look amazing because of who they are or what they do or where they live. They may be smarter than you. Or stronger. More athletic or slimmer or prettier. They may be younger or richer or whatever-er. It may appear that God uses them for great things, while you are left - what? Doing the dishes? Making jewelry that nobody buys? Being so tired or wrapped in brain fog that you have to make a "to do" list just to get through the day?
But here's the thing - no matter where you are currently at in your life or the age of your body or whatever - there is still work for you to do - that God created in advance for you to do. He created it IN ADVANCE - meaning before you were too old, too tired, too brainless, knowing you would be those things. (or at least feel those things). You are meant to be about the work that God created you to do. You can't be "too" anything to do it - because God designed it especially for you. And you for it. And there is no better thing than to be in the center of God's will, doing what He wants you to do.
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Ephesians 2:10
I will be writing about this again as I struggle to wrap my brain around it.
