You were not lost in the crowd. Christ measured out something for you personally. Not the size you earned, the size he chose to give. Have you opened it yet?

Be courageous, and do it." Thank You for giving me people who stand beside me when obedience is hard, and for the courage to actually do what You've put in my hands.

Nothing about the gold changed. Only what it was filled with. You were set apart too. Ask honestly what you are pouring into a life meant to hold God.
