It is an Honor!!!!
Thursday, May 8th, 2008I sing. I love to sing. From the time I was young, and I am sure until the day I go home, I will sing. When asked what my childhood dream was, I always reply a singer. Of course I always envisioned I’d be a recording artist and travel, give concerts….
Has my childhood dream become a reality? Sort of. I still sing. I sing everyday, but instead of it just being about me, I sing for God! I would be lying if I said that I didn’t sing for my enjoyment. I love it. I identify myself this way. I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t sing. I have not become the traveling, concert giving recording artist that I was in my bedroom, but I have the honor to serve God weekly at my church. To lift Him up, using the gifts that He gave me, and to give it back to Him, is so awesome!
What is it that God has gifted you with that you can turn around and give back to God? Are you a welcoming people person? Then you would be a great greeter! Are you great with babies and toddlers - then serve in the preschool. Love elementary age?, how about serving in the children’s or youth ministries. If you feel a calling to help the homeless, help those going through difficulties, there are ministries for you too. The possibilities are endless. God has gifted all of us with something — it is our responsibility to use them for Him! When we use our gifts for Him with a joyful heart and in an unceasing way, we will fulfill the plans that God has for us, and help others along the way to reach their potential too!
It is an honor to serve God! I challenge you to give it a try.
