Is it those who got it all, who look like they can be big and their destined
Is it those who have the fresh and clean look, or those who are popular and cherished
Is it those who are favoured and are the likely option, the first ones called when something needs to be done
Is it the rich and famous, or those who have power and authority who are considered a star
Is it only those who you are willing to accept, or those who you think are the ideal candidate
How narrow is your mind, how much have you blocked out and what walls have you built inside
Because there is the one who says nothing is impossible to, for and with Him
There is the Greatest who says he loves to take the foolish things of this world and make them shine, giving them ability
So who are we to say yes or no, who are we to try to put boundaries and limits on people
It’s such a waste of time trying to block someone’s shine, because the Lord has the last say no matter what our opinion
We should always remember the story of Gideon and all the other prophets that the Lord choose
The world and the people around them probably put them down, but they could never stop or change the will of God
So it is wise to understand that anyone can be a star, be it you or me basically everyone who is called His own
Because the Saviour did not die on the cross, so that you or one person could bring him glory and get all the credit and applause
So who are we to judge and tell someone what they have or desire is nothing but a fantasy, unreachable and not good enough
Because the Son of God took us aswell as them from being a nobody to being a somebody, who is anointed and loved
It is best for us to look out of the box and not think we are the only ones who are anointed, appointed and called
As so many people were saved and arose before and after us, and God didn’t ask us what we thought
Instead let us stop judging, but encourage our brother and sister as we don’t know the plan God has for their lives
Let us look as things spiritually and not carnally giving God all the glory and props, as he is able to turn anyone around into a star!!
