I have fought with this blog for a while now, and I am finally going to give in and just throw it out there for you guys. It was roughly 3 weeks ago, maybe longer that I was attending a meeting for church and in the middle of it God threw this idea in my mind. I was so excited that I told the first person that I encountered which was Leanna in the Library. You can ask her about this statement and she will tell you that it has been a long time since I first talked about it. You may look at it and think, "wow... that's it?" Or you may read this and think, "wow, punch in the face".
I have thought of many different ways that I could possibly tie in a story to go along with this statement like a side dish. But this is the main course and I don't think there needs to be any stories on the side other than the statement.
While being amongst many people with different gifts in the meeting 3 weeks ago. I was thinking about the infinite amount of gifts that God gives us. While thinking about that, I was also thinking about 1 Corinthians 12. After reading that, it was confirmed that I needed to share this. So, here ya go:
"You know how people will say: 'I am trying to find where I belong in the body of Christ?' Well, I don't think its about them finding where they belong. Rather, accepting where Christ is using them."
We all have dreams and we all have aspirations. God knows that, don't for one second think that God doesn't. But what we need to realize is, God's plans for our lives sometimes doesn't equal our plans for our own lives. So many times I sit back and watch people get upset because they are not holding a position in the Church, at Work, or just in life as a whole. As I am asking myself this, let me ask you. Are you fighting where God wants to use you in the Body of Christ at the moment or are you going to let him shine through you no matter the circumstance?
