This weekend I had the privilige of spending time with a VERY dear friend of mine. We just sit and talked mainly. I LOVED the guidance and wisdom he shared with me. You see, he is 20 years my senior and he has already traveled many of the roads I will travel in the next few years.
Many things he shared with me has stayed on my heart, but one I cannot shake. "We want to be BIGGER than what GOD intended us to be"! Man, I have been meditating that one all weekend! I cannot get past it!
I ALWAYS am wanting to help! I want to help start a foundation for students to go to college. I want to help the elderly with fixing up their houses. I want to go help sick people get past their illness.
GOD calls us for a PURPOSE! The apostle Paul was used to lead MANY Christians to a saving knowlege of Christ. But he says in 1 Corinthians 1:17 "For Christ sent me not to baptize; but to preach the gospel.....". Baptizing was NOT what Paul was called to to! GOD calls us to fulfill different tasks. Just as Paul was sent to preach the Gospel, GOD's purpose for us may be different. Make sure of what GOD purpose for your life is, then FULFILL that purpose to the fullest. Don't be led into NOBLE endeavors without GOD's blessing. My desire is too be used for JUST what GOD has intended for me!
