Have you ever felt like you don’t really have an obvious place in the Kingdom? Do you know what it’s like to see everyone else fit right in, but you don’t really know what God has for you? Are you ever afraid that He doesn’t really have anything for you at all? Have you ever thought that God really can’t use you because you don’t think you have anything to offer? Well, even though I may not know you, I can promise you that whoever you are, God has something tailor-made for you. There is something beautiful and eternally significant that God prepared for you to carry out and He wants you to find that thing. When Jesus was recruiting His team of guys who would one day change the world, He didn’t approach Peter by saying, “Come follow me and I will make you a preacher and a missionary.” No, He said, “Come, follow me, and I will send you out to fish for people.” Peter had spent his entire childhood in boats and in the water, dragging nets and casting lines, setting hooks and catching fish. It was his whole life. He knew where to find fish, how to approach them and how to bring them in. Jesus didn’t waste that training. As a pastor and church planting missionary, Peter had to know how to approach people, cast a message and bring people in. Jesus used everything in Peter’s life to make Him useful in the Kingdom. Jesus has something for you too, and He made you for it. Your personality, your history, your hurts and your victories are all leading to something. Jesus is going to turn your story into the story.
