yes, god loves all his children the same, but not all of god's children are the same. if you do not believe this, read numbers 12. again, god believed in paul. paul was one of the chief enemies of christianity, and yet god chose him. that is why he blinded him and shook his world: because he wanted that man on his side. no, hannah, he did not need him; he needs no one. instead, he wanted him. and that, ma'am, melts my heart.
again, god took special interest in david, my personal "hero", if you will. he was a man after god's own heart as god said it... just like you.
what's more, david was in love with god. in. love. god doesn't need that, no, but he wants it. he cherishes it. it is the reason we were created; not to "obey" god, but to love him while he loves us. all the silly rules are there not to please god, but to protect us. and they are given to us because god loves us and is trying to tell us to watch out for the things that will hurt us, or the things that draw us away from him... which hurts us so much more.
be of good cheer, little person. god chooses you. it might be to accomplish something awesome that touches many people, or, as you stated six posts ago, it might be to touch and empower a family, as my own mother firmly believes was her sole goal in this life... and she has accomplished it with a grace i have yet to master.
regardless of the outcome of your life, i still think god chooses you for things that that other people are seldom chosen for, though i do not know what they are. furthermore, he has created you with the ability to do those things. it might be hard, but remember: "to whom much is given, much more more will be required"... and much more will be rewarded. (matthew 25:14-30 niv).
yes, you have a thorn and i know how it hurts, but take comfort in the fact he has given this to you because he believes in you, and that makes two of us.
