God deserves your best ...he wants you to focus on talents he has given you
To serve God ..discover your shape
Assess your gifts and abilities ..make a list ..ask others ..experiment with different areas of service ...try other areas and you'll discover your gifts
Consider your heart and your personality ..what do I enjoy ..lose track of time with ...do I like routine or variety...introvert or extrovert ..thinker or feeler ..competing or cooperating?
Examine your experiences ..forgotten experiences are worthless ..spiritual diary? Hindsight often reveals God's work.
Accept and enjoy your shape ..don't be envious or compare with others ..finish your race ..don't conform to expectations of others ..you will think others doing a better job or not as good as you think you do the job ... just concentrate on your lane and run the race with Christ as the finishing line ...avoid comparisons, resist exaggerations and seek only God's commendation
John Bunyan .... If my life is fruitless, it doesn't matter who praises me, and if my life if fruitful, it doesn't matter who criticises me
Keep developing your shape ..parable of talents ..cultivate our gifts, broaden experiences and become more effective ..use ability and increase it ..stretch yourself not settling for half measures
We are getting ready for eternal responsibility and reward
