We Just Have To Say Yes, And Leave The Rest To God

How do you know when you are serving God from your heart?

The first telltale sign is enthusiasm. When you're doing what you love to do, no one has to motivate you, or challenge you, or check up on you. You do it for the sheer enjoyment. You don't need rewards, or applause, or to be paid because you love serving in this way. This is how I know I am fulfilling God's plan for my life through my blogging.

We know we are operating in our gifts and calling when what we do ministers life to others. If what we do makes us miserable and fills us with a sense of dread, it's possible we are not in God's perfect will. God gives us peace and joy to let us know we are fulfilling His perfect plan.

The effort we make must be in Christ. So often we just try to do what is right without asking for God's help. The Bible calls this a "work of the flesh." It is man's effort trying to do God's job. What I am saying is, be sure you lean on God and ask for His help. When you succeed, give Him the credit, the honor, and the glory because success is impossible without Him.

I encourage you to look at what you enjoy, what you're good at, what God is giving you grace to do, and then let God be God in your life. He wants to flow through you in many different ways, but it may not be in the same way He flows through others. Trust His ability in and through you, and don't be afraid to be unique.

For His Glory,
Dalinda
