Purpose Driven Life chapter 31

Chapter 31: Understanding Your Shape

Something to Remember: Only YOU can be you.

Verse to Remember: "He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. when others are troubled, we will be able to give tem the same comfort God has given us" 2nd Corinthians 1:4

Something that was impactful: Nobody has the same spiritual gifts.

All of our abilities come from God. Every ability was given to you from God, some are just being abused and misused. Everyone has an ability in some way to help serve! Whether its preaching or stacking chairs! NO job is too small.

Every ability can be used for God's glory. God has a place for everyone in the church you just have to find your place.

What I 'm able to do God wants me to do. God wants us to use the abilities that he gave us. Dont just leave the abilities lying around unused. God WANTS you to use your abilities.

God gave you different experiences to shape your life. you need to share those experiences with others. If god gave you a painful experience, you must share it with people so they can learn from that. It will be your most effective ministry because if someone comes to you saying..i duno.. maybe you were abused and someone who was abused comes to you and says they need help, what better person to help than someone who has been there. He will use that to help someone in need. Cool eh?

I pray that God can use my experiences in the past to help someone in need now! Amen
