Who Is Waiting For You?

Happy Friday, Friends!

I hope and trust this post finds you all having a great day as a glorious new day begins to dawn in my Sweet Home Alabama! Today is such a great gift; let’s honor it by choosing to live it fully, bringing out its full potential!

 

Who is waiting for you?

 

Ephesians 2:10

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

 

1 Peter 4:10 - -11

10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 11 If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.

 

Who, in the future, is waiting for you to do the good works that were prepared for you to do or to use the gifts that you received? Neither you nor any other human walking the face of the earth is a mistake or was born without a purpose – not one! Many choose not to walk in their giftings or fail to answer the cry of the heart to make the difference they were created to make. However, that does not alter who they truly are or what they were created to be. Perhaps that is why so many people are discontent and don’t find joy in their daily lives. They are choosing not to honor who they were created to be or the gifts they were given.

 

What passion within you calls out, but you do not answer? What have you always wanted to do but haven’t? What are the gifts you have that you are not working to develop or use to serve others?

 

I want you to know that you are not a mistake; you matter, and what you do or don’t do matters! There are people in your life, now and in the future, who need exactly who you were created to be. You could be an integral part of their story by honoring the call on your life and the gifts you have been given.

 

Do you know what the crazy thing to me is? Our callings and gifts are so natural to us that we often tend to undervalue and overlook their importance. No, everyone is not passionate about the same things as you, they don’t care about the things you care about, and they can’t do the things you can do. Whether you want to admit it or not, whether you believe it or not, you are a masterpiece!

 

So, Friends, I want to encourage you this morning to sing your song, dance your dance, write your book, pursue your degree, start a non-profit or business, or do whatever it is that is calling out to you from your soul. God will utilize them in a powerful way to impact the lives of others. And if you don’t? Well, it will be you, Friend, that loses, not the people in your life. We aren’t powerful enough to stop the plans and purposes of God; if you aren’t the one He is able to use in the life of another, He will send someone else. However, the gnawing you felt in your stomach when I asked about your passions and the things you care about will remain. They won’t go away because God places them within us to inspire us to fulfill our purposes. However, God loves us enough to let us choose what we do, including the choice not to honor our calling or gifts.

 

My sincere hope and prayer for each of us is that we will honor the calling of our lives and develop our gifts to the best of our abilities.
