What ministry is calling you...

 I heard an actor say he never thought he would be an  actor, but he took a job when he was at his lowerst and ended up acting for 20 years.  There are a couple of ministerial things I do that I would never have chosen or even known to chose, but they chose me! And they fit!  I never would have thought that I possess knowledge and wisdom to assist certain people.c  I am aware that God uses whoever God needs to use to answer a person's situation, yet, we also know that individually, we are all chosen to do specific things, to major in specific callings/gifts/knowledge/wisdom.  The actor said he did what came to him and it was the right thing.  

We all know of people who are very young, unchurched or perhaps not up to par with what society may think is knowledgeable or smart, but are 'talented" at something particular that edifies our life. Even we may be considered by some as not capable of particular things, but we are also very good at some things.  

People struggle trying to make this or that happen and it never does, while ignoring what keeps coming to them because it’s not what they would choose.  If something or some one with particular issues continually come to you because they believe you have the answer or comfort they need, then apparently you do and haven't realized it.  Example: Have you ever noticed how gravitate towards the leader in the bunch, even if that person does not have a title that suggests leadership?  That person has something that caused people to trust them to lead or help them accomplish whatever needs to be accomplished.  People will listen to the titled leader, then go to someone else for clarification or direction because they see leadership on that person who doesn't have the title.  

Listen, surrender. Sometimes, those in need see what/that you have in you what will fill their spiritual/emotional/intellectual need. Trust what they see in you and start giving it out.  Listen to who comes to you, then listen to what God tells you to  speak to or do for them, and WATCH what happens. You will be amazed.  Twenty years later, you will be mentoring people to whom you never would have thought you had any to offer.  You will be building, tearing down, edifying, reorganizing, traveling, speaking and encouraging people in ways that you never would have chosen for yourself, but you will be enjoying the work tremendously.!   (Romans 12, I Corinthians 12:1-11)


Go ahead and see.  Now, GO! (Matthew 28:19-20)
