Behind the Cabin Door 2021 10: "We are the body of Christ. People need what we carry inside. When we begin to use our gifts we are building the body and God is pleased!"
I Corinthians 12 gives us a picture how God has created many pieces or members of a body to work together as one complete body. God desires to use his body to reveal his love, glory, power, miracles... etc. He desires to fill his body with himself! And we are all a part of this body as believers! God has given each of us specific gifts and He desires us to use them to fulfill His plan. He desires to use us to release His Word to the lost. People need what we carry inside. When we begin to use our gifts we are building the body and God is pleased!
A gift God has given me is the gift of teaching children. As I live life... God gives me ways I can show a concept I see to kids! He shows me lessons that include snacks, crafts, art, and live out Jesus moments where kids can live out and ACT on His Word! It's hard work at times putting everything together for a lesson but when I'm with children and speak what God is given me I am so blessed, fulfilled inside, and am confirmed in my spirit that this is what He created me to do! I live happy and satisfied because God uses me as I use my gifts to build His body! He desires that same posture for all His people!
I encourage you today to get close to God and allow Him to speak to you. If you are unsure of the gifts He has given you don't be discouraged He WILL show you!
Here is a little boost you can ask yourself, "What makes me cry?"... Tears often points us in the direction of our calling and purpose to life. He wants to hear what's on your heart because He has created your heart!
