Are you the one?

A small group of us, from our church, have taken on a challenge to step out to serve the Kingdom. This challenge is to be the ONE that chooses to make a difference in someones life. We have chosen to unite in our desire to be true Disciples. To keep us focused and bring us together, we have started a blog where we can post thoughts and words of encouragement for others. Here are some thoughts I have shared with others about being the ONE.

What does it take to be the ONE? Who is God calling to be a disciple? What does it take to be the person that can truly make a positive difference in someones life? I am sure it takes more then what I have to give. It might look from the outside that I have all the answers, but inside, I really don't. I don't know enough about God or the Bible to share with others. Besides, there are so many other people out there that are way better equipped to be a disciple than I am. Surely God would call them way before He would call me.

Does that sound familiar? It does to me. I have heard every one of those excuses. To be truthful, I have uttered every one of those excuses. But, those are just that, excuses. In reality, there will always be someone that this world looks at as more gifted or more equipped then I am. They know more about the Bible then I do. They are better communicators then I am. But, the other reality is that God does not always call the gifted or equipped. God equips and gifts those that He calls. If you are like me and are feeling God's call to step up, then you are the ONE. God will equip you with exactly what you need. God knows what He is doing, so if He is calling you, you are the ONE.

For me, I have decided to get past all of my excuses and step forward to make a difference for the Kingdom. I know that God is calling me to be a disciple. So, I can rest assured that I am the ONE. Are you the ONE?
