What Is Your Assignment?

 

For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith. Romans 12:4-6

Do you see yourself as on assignment for God? What do you suppose it is He would have you to do with the time He has allotted you with on this Earth? 

Everyone has a different spiritual gift and it is finding that gift and using it that matters. Don’t go through every day just for yourself but somehow do something to impact the world around you for the kingdom of God. If you do it has a pleasant side effect and that is making you feel better in the long run. Selfish pursuits often end in frustration but working for the Lord and helping others leaves you with a good feeling. 

There was a phone company advertisement years ago that said “Reach Out And Touch Someone” and today in this Covid 19 era we currently find ourselves in touching is frowned upon so send a note, a card, some flowers, or a simple phone call. Go out each day and see if you can find a way to make someone else’s day a little brighter. That could be your assignment every day. I would say smile at others but behind the mask hard to see that beautiful smile. Today purpose in you heart you will be a light for someone who may be having a bit of a dark day. 

PRAYER: Lord I come to you today with a humble heart as your servant asking you to use me to bring joy to another who may be struggling. Forgive me for times I have neglected my spiritual gift and have gone about my own selfish way ignoring prompts to share your love with another. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
