My Role In God’s plan.



All of us have a role in God’s plan.  Our story is a small part of His story for mankind.  Our story will fit in perfectly with God’s if we are submitted to Him.
When Jesus was born, there were several people that were directly involved in seeing it come to pass.  God chose them.  When God choose you to do something, running away is a painful alternative-remember Jonah?
Zachariah & Elizabeth/John the Baptist/Mary & Joseph were all a part of God's plan of Jesus' birth. 
     1. When God chooses us to be a part of His plan, He also fulfills our desires/passions. Zachariah & Elizabeth wanted a son, and God wanted a fore-runner to Jesus-John the Baptist. Joseph and Mary wanted to be married, God needed earthly parents for His Son. Our heart’s desires were placed there by God, even marriage.  
          2. When God involves us directly in His plans, simple desires that we have can become a huge thing. The desire is no longer our own, it is God’s.  To make it successful, we must do it God’s way. 
The things that God chooses us for can be lifelong calling, or seasonal ones. We will know as we follow His lead.  The focus must remain on Christ, or we will sink like Peter.
As we remember and celebrate the birth of Christ, let us give Him this gift, Let us: 
1. Allow Him to lead and teach us
2. Keep our hearts open so He can show us what He is calling us to 
            3.    Keep our eyes focus on Him, and our hearts trusting in Him, so that our desires and ultimately our stories become completely a part of His.
