WE have ALL been called.

Roman's 8:28.

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Forgive me for this long amount of scripture, but it was laid on my heart by the Lord, and there is much, much wisdom in your post and thank you for putting it here!

1 Corinthians 1:18-31

(18) For the word of the cross is to those who are perishing foolishness, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

(19) For it is written, "I WILL DESTROY THE WISDOM OF THE WISE, AND THE CLEVERNESS OF THE CLEVER I WILL SET ASIDE."

(20) Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

(21) For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.

(22) For indeed Jews ask for signs, and Greeks search for wisdom;

(23) but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block, and to Gentiles foolishness,

(24) but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

(25) Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

(26) For consider your calling, brethren, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble;

(27) but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong,

(28) and the base things of the world and the despised, God has chosen, the things that are not, that He might nullify the things that are,

(29) that no man should boast before God.

(30) But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,

(31) that, just as it is written, "LET HIM WHO BOASTS, BOAST IN THE LORD."

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

And such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.

I am listed in the above verses; I KNOW the grace and mercy of God.

Beautiful! We are all right here right now for a reason.

Thank u, I needed this! 🥹

Oh thanks...I needed that

God loves the repentance of sinners. Jesus walked the streets and not the palaces of the rich. We have a destiny He set for us.
