Be the You God Made You to Be
Nicole Goddard
“For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If you gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.”
Romans 12:4-8.
Have you ever felt your prayers are lackluster in comparison to the way some people can just get a whole room on fire for Jesus? Maybe you question whether that small donation you can barely muster to give is even worth giving knowing others can give more. Or maybe you look at how others can serve so much at Real Life and in our community, but this season in your life leaves little room to serve outside of your own family.
The irony of making such comparisons, is that we think our deficiency in these areas are hindering God’s plans. Like it all hinges on me or you. We’re taking a little too much credit don’t you think?
Rest assured you are right where God has planted you - WITH the gifts and testimony he has given you. You literally can’t mess up his agenda. Rather, you are one intricately, beautiful part of his perfectly crafted design, just the way you are.
So shut those comparison thoughts down as soon as they rise up and strive to be the best YOU that your creator made you to be!
