THINKING ABOUT MY PURPOSE DAY 30
POINT TO PONDER:
I was shaped for serving God.
VERSE TO REMEMBER:
“God works through different men in different ways, but it is the same God who achieves his purposes through them all.”
1 CORINTHIANS 12:6 (PH)
QUESTION TO CONSIDER:
In what way can I see myself passionately serving others and loving it?
HIGHLIGHTS FROM BOOK :
You are a custom-designed, one-of-a-kind, original masterpiece.
To help you remember five of these factors, I have created a simple acrostic: SHAPE. In this chapter and the next we will look at these five factors, and following that, I will explain how to discover and use your shape.
Spiritual gifts... Heart... Abilities.. Personality Experience.
You can’t earn your spiritual gifts or deserve them — that’s why they are called gifts! They are an expression of God’s grace to you. “Christ has generously divided out his gifts to us.”
Have you taken the time to discover your spiritual gifts? An unopened gift is worthless.
SHAPE: Listening to Your Heart
The Bible says, “As a face is reflected in water, so the heart reflects the person.”11 Your heart reveals the real you — what you truly are, not what others think you are or what circumstances force you to be. Your heart determines why you say the things you do, why you feel the way you do, and why you act the way you do.
Repeatedly the Bible says to “serve the Lord with all your heart.”
People rarely excel at tasks they don’t enjoy doing or feel passionate about.
