Day 32........Using What God Gave You

I've got to tell you, this chapter was the greatest one for me so far. I mean all of them have been great, but this one really spoke to some things I've been dealing with. I've compared myself to other pastors and have come up lacking. I've tried to conform to what others think I should do, and have been very unhappy in doing so. This really has helped me here. I've been hating the shape I am......thinking it to be too different or radical, compared to what I've been told and taught. (I know those who are participating are reading the chapters, but if you haven't read this chapter, don't judge what's being said here, until you do.) See most of us have preconceived notion of what an evangelist should look like or a pastor or teacher. I know of pastors who are covered from head to toe in tattoos and body piercings. That may not be who you want to pastor you, but he is a part of the body, and he's ministering to folks who would never listen to you. Once we start putting people in a box, then we start attempting to put God in a box. And that never works.

"How can I make the best use of what God has given me?"

By using it! Use it or lose it.
