Celebrity Status
Everybody’s a celebrity in somebody’s eyes.
The high-profile, obvious ones might be athletes, olympians, singers, or movie
stars. It could be a mom or dad to a young child, or perhaps an older sibling.
Maybe a student would have a teacher filling that role, or a ball player, a
coach.
Perhaps someone you don’t even know thinks of you as some sort of celebrity.
Your smile might light up the day for a weary check-out person at the market,
and buoy up his outlook. Or the elderly receptionist handling the front desk in
the office may think of you as a celebrity-type, because each day you take an
interest and ask how the family’s doing. Or maybe you are the only person in
months who has thanked the hardworking person who’s cleaning the turnpike
restroom.
Whether you’re aware of it or not, you’re a celebrity in God’s eyes:
He made you. (Genesis 1:26,28 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image...
God blessed them)
He loves you. (John 16: 27 the Father himself loves you) ( Revelation 1:6 To him
who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, 6and has made us to be
a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for
ever and ever! Amen)
He paid a high price to have a relationship with you. (1 Corinthians 7:23 You
were bought at a price)
And, you are always on His mind (Isaiah 49 15,16 “I would not forget you. See, I
have written your name on the palms of my hands.)
Enjoy your celebrity status today. Walk in it, knowing that in Somebody’s eyes,
you are just that, a celebrity.
That’s good news.
