What is Celebrity?

What is celebrity?

Is it having your name in lights or broadcast to and fro?

Not really.

Celebrity is a responsibility and it is a gift.

We all have talents and gifting, don’t we? Well, those who are of celebrity “status” have been given a broader responsibility with how they manage theirs.

I must admit that while I see and hear a lot about how uncouthly some celebrities act and treat people, everyone I know or have met who might be considered in this category is pretty down to earth. Most I have met are very authentic, which is part of why they are where they are in their careers and lives. God trusted them with “celebrity” and they have, for the most part, done a good job with that celebrity. They are not pulling fast ones on the public or on the people in their lives; they are real and they keep it real.

The amount of notoriety someone gets in life means nothing other than that their gifting got more recognition; it doesn’t mean that someone is better or worse or different: it means they were trusted by God with their talent on a different level and that His purpose for their lives is different than for others. No two people are alike, and the plans God has for us all are unique. For some of us this will lead to celebrity on some level; for others of us, not so much. All are loved equally by God and given the responsibility He knows we can handle.

All of us have a different plan to walk into with our lives.

All of us have responsibilities in different areas and seasons of our lives. It isn’t always God’s trust in us to endure a disease or to endure celebrity status or anything else formulaic… it is all part of a larger plan and we are all here right now for a special and wonderful purpose.

You, reader, have a wonderfully unique purpose.

Find your passion and you will become more understanding of that purpose.

Pray that God will lead you into a better understanding of your authentic self as HE imagined you and created you to be. What does HIS vision for your life look like?

What you learn from this might surprise you.
