You were shaped to serve God!
“Your hands shaped me and
made me.” Job
10:8
Before
God created you, he decided what role he wanted you to play on Earth. You are
the way you are because you were made for a specific ministry. Not only did God
shape you before your birth, he planned every day of your life to support his
shaping process. God uses all of it to mold you for your ministry to others and
shape you for your service to him. “We are God’s workmanship, created in
Christ Jesus to do good works.” Ephesians 2:10
God’s
custom combination of capabilities is called your S.H.A.P.E.:
Spiritual Gifts
Heart
Abilities
Personality
Experience
Spiritual
gifts are special God-empowered abilities for serving him that are given only
to believers. Have you taken time to discover your gifts? An unopened gift is
worthless.
Another
word for heart is passion. People rarely excel at tasks they don’t enjoy doing
or feel passionate about. God wants you to use your natural interests to serve
him and others. Figure out what you love to do – what God gave you a heart to
do – and then do it for his glory.
