Living Changed: Making a Difference with your Gifts
Romans 8:28, Esther 4:14...
In every new year, a clean slate and endless possibilities is always in front of us and this year is not different. A year from now, when you look back on these next several months, what do you want to see? Do you want to see that you made a difference in this world and in God’s Kingdom?
Whether you realize it or not, God put certain things in your path and gave you opportunities to strengthen different skills, so that He could prepare you for your purpose.
Every one of your life experiences makes you uniquely you. Consider the natural talents God has given you, the different opportunities you’ve had, and the skills you’ve acquired. Think about where you grew up, where you’ve traveled, what you’ve learned. Maybe you can relate to different people around the world, or maybe you have the ability that inspires and moves people to action...
The various experiences you’ve had in your life may seem irrelevant on their own, but together, they’re leading you toward something meaningful that you can use to glorify God.
In the story of Esther in the Bible, she didn’t see herself as special or more important to God’s plan than anyone else. She was just doing her best to survive. But because of who she was, where she lived, the time she lived in, who she had influence with, and the wisdom God gave her, He used her to save the Israelites from death.
There’s no question that God has given you skills, talents, education, financial power, status, or influence that is special to you. The question is how you will use it. You don’t have to be in full-time ministry to do God’s work. You can work for God on your job, in business, in whatever you are doing or in the home, with many or with few.
The truth is that most of us may not be famous like the president of a country or..., but we all have circles of influence and unique gifts that those in our circle of influence need, which you can use to change their lives and eternities this year.
Living in your calling and serving others will lead to a more fulfilling year.
Prayer: Father, thank you for everything you have given me—all the strengths, characteristics, learnings, influence, experiences and provisions that are special to me. I ask that you show me how those gifts uniquely qualify me for my purpose and how I can use them to change others’ lives and eternities this year. In Jesus name, Amen.
We see the Lord holding your hands to help you this year.
Good morning beloved, have a blessed day and a super 2022!
