God’s grace is always upon us. God does not expect you to be who you are not.
Does that bring you some relief?
God has buckets full of grace to pour out on us but we have to be standing where the downpour is. When we walk the path God has called us to walk, we will discover grace beyond our expectations.
God does not expect you to be who you are not, he does want you to be all that he made you to be. When we know what we have been designed for and called to do, we can save ourselves a lot of striving in areas we were not built for. If we know who God has made us to be, we can stop trying to be someone we are not and let go of the stress that comes with living that kind of life. God has made you to fit in a certain place where you can serve him best, where he can shower you with grace.
Well, think of a person who typically fulfills this prophetic role in his ministry and makes a sudden attempt at teaching. He spending hours and hours preparing lessons, never feeling 100 percent certain that he is on the right track. Once the post begin, his student often seem confused, disorganized or lack a specific focus.
No matter how hard he tries, the prophet turned teacher just can’t seem to get thing right in terms of instructing his class, and his frustration is mounting. How would this person fare as a senior pastor or even a small group leader? Would he do a good job? Would he even enjoy the work?
Discovering and acknowledging who God has made you to be will ensure you are standing under the bucket of grace, not beside it. So let’s see how to figure out where you belong so you’ll be under that shower of grace and get a healthy soaking, not just a splash.
