NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE

 

 

 

 

 

 

NO MATTER=WHO YOU ARE

(Or what you may have DONE=You are STILL CALLED)

 

You know WHAT=My dear friends=my dear brothers and

Sisters=NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE=No matter what you

MAY have done=in this life=THE LIVING GOD OF LOVE=can

CALL YOU=He may have some PLANS=for you and your life

Our God can CALL ANYBODY=at any TIME

 

“I was a SHEPHERD=and a dresser of sycamores=the Lord

TOOK ME=from following the flock……..”                                                                                     Amos 7:14-15

 

Amos is a SHEPHERD=and a fruit picker=NOT a prophet=or

SON of a prophet=and yet the Lord CALLED HIM=to prophesy

To the Israel people=The Lord called Amos=he may be CALLING YOU

NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE=or what you are doing=The Lord

MAY be calling you too

 

Saint Paul was CHOSEN=from a murderous background=as was

Moses=and Saint Paul=REMINDS US=and the Ephesians today

That they were=CHOSEN BY GOD=as you and I were chosen=to be

21st century APOSTLES=just like the ORIGINAL 12 were

 

NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE=GOD IS CALLING YOU=God is

Choosing you

 

“NOW CHOOSE LIFE=so that you and your children=may live=

And that you=May love the Lord your God=listen to his voice=and

Hold fast to him”                                                                                                                                   Deuteronomy 30:19

 

“But if serving the Lord=seems undesirable to you=then

CHOOSE FOR YOURSELVES=this day=whom you will serve

 

Whether the gods=Your ancestors served=beyond the Euphrates=

Or the gods of the Amorites=in whose land you are living=But as for me

And my household=we will SERVE THE LORD”                                                                            Joshua 24:15

 

Amos KNEW=the Lord had sent him=so did Moses=as did

Saint Paul=and the ORIGINAL APOSTLES=they all were

Just ORDINARY MEN=Called by Jesus=sent by Jesus=to

PREACH THE WORD OF GOD=they had a PURPOSE             

 

NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE=or what you have done=You can be

CALLED by the Lord=WE are all chosen=we are ALL CALLED

 

“The Lord is near=to all=Who CALL ON HIM=to all

Who call on him=in truth”                                                                                                                     Psalm 145:18

 

“Seek the Lord=while he=may be found=CALL ON HIM=

While he is near”                                                                                                                              Isaiah 55:6

 

And so my dear friends=NO MATTER what your past=looks like=

Your present and your future=LOOKS GOOD=for the LORD=

May be CALLING ON YOU=NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE!

 

It may seem HARD=to begin=but the Lord is CALLING You and me=

But he is for you=and he is CALLING YOU to SHARE his message=

Of life and love=of KINDNESS=of forgiveness=with the world=The HOLY

FATHER God and Jesus=have a MESSAGE to share=and they are calling

Me and you=NO MATTER WHO WE ARE!

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our EVER LIVING=EVER LOVING=

Ever CALLING of people=THE HOLY FATHER GOD!
