What does your characteristics say about you?

Have you ever wondered how Jesus chose His disciples? Like what made Him decide to pick the 12 men that He chose? Think about it like today God doesn't choose those who think they are well off without Him. Thus, many of His chosen few were fisherman. Not ones dream job right? But then break it down "fisher" of "men". Anyways that's what we commonly hear right? Nobody every looks into and breaks down the characteristics of these people. I can tell you now they are far from perfect, just ordinary people like us. Check it out...
Peter- he was impulsive (act without thought) this is the same Peter that denied Jesus, not once but 3 times. But in Jesus eyes Peter was "rock".
�?�thank God like Peter we may falter, but when we return to Jesus, He forgives us and strengthens us!
Thomas- aka doubting Thomas not only doubted but was courageous.
�?�I know I'm not the only one that has doubts and trust issues at time but God shows through Peter that even though we may have serious doubts, Jesus reaches out to us to restore our faith. (In case you didn't know Jesus had to show Himself to Peter after He resurrected in order for Peter to believe)
Matthew/Levi- he was a tax collector that looked down on others because of his dishonest career
�?�like Matthew we have some living style that aren't in alignment to Gods will but this goes to show that God is not looking for good people who think they're already good, He wants people who know they failed and want help
DUN DUN DUN.... And then there's:
Judas Iscariot- yup the one who betrayed Jesus. This guy was treacherous and greedy. Jesus even said He was a devil.
�?�the importance for having Judas present was to portray that it's not enough to be familiar with Jesus' teachings, you can just be a hearer its vital to be a doer by obeying and loving Him.
I hope this post gave you a new insight on things and I pray that you fulfill every plan and purpose that God has predestined you to do and be. God bless �??�
