think about it....
It's what we love to do in our down time, it's what God has given us a healthy love of. God has given each of us our own unique gifts. And we spend a large amount of time developing and perfecting those gifts. And it's designed so perfectly for us because we enjoy it. Some call it your life passion. but our passion should be God and his will for our life. Now hold that thought. And see if u can name at least one of the gifts that God's given u.
And you'll here people say over and over i just want God's will for my life and then in their next breath as you start asking them about what they would like to do, majority of the time u get to hear about what they absolutely refuse to do. Like well i really need a job right now and i'll do anything but i don't want to ____ and i refuse to do____...(fill in the blank. And I want to get married and but i have a certain kinda guy i'm looking for and if he doesn't fit it down to the hair color i'm not even looking twice.
Now don't get me wrong. I'm not saying don't have standards. Just don't be so closed minded. Cause u really don't know what God has in store for u. U could die tomorrow in a car wreck or fall in love.
Now this all pulls together. Because I'm currently recovering from depression. Last year about Oct I started to go into it. And what caused mine was I had totally lost understanding of my purpose and my gifts. I was just pointlessly goin through the motions of each day. (God in all his sovereignty has graciously made and least the direction of my path very evident. He's just opened so many doors for me and kinda pushed me in that direction.) But I had lost total sight of why I was even doin well anything. Well I was bored with my gift and just got plain lazy and sadly it went untouched for awhile. but with the help of others I pulled through. It was actually listening to one of my friends go on and on about his hobby (which is geared towards one of his many gifts) and as i was listening I could remember a time when i used to talk about my hobby the same way. What had happened to me? Why didn't I want to talk about it(the hobby)? Well I basically did nothing for 6 months and if I could redo it I would. And me, my family and wonderful friends started a long process of diggin up the heart issue. And it turned out the heart issue was that I was living for the praise, attention and approval of parents. And once I was able to see that I was able to lift this burden of my shoulders. And start living for God and the knowledge that he forgives me when I fall short. And I'm very glad to say that my gifts have been getting lots of attention as well as my hobbies. And I'm so content with truly Whatever God will for me is. If that means I die tomorrow I a car wreck or marry that plain 4eyed geek with the zits.
Set high standards! Set high goals! Work as it all depended on u! Pray as it all depended on God! And know that God is understanding when your not perfect.
