Finding Opportunities To Serve Jesus
When the Bible speaks of the harvest being plentiful but the workers few, it is not kidding! There are so many opportunities available to serve Jesus with our spiritual gifts and abilities. However, we often think we must sit back and wait for them to plop into our lap rather than actively pursue them. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Here are four ways to seek out opportunities to serve God with your gifts, starting today:
Pray!
It may sound super obvious but ask the Holy Spirit to direct you where He wants you serving. Pay attention to His promptings.
Ask!
Ask other believers how and where they serve Jesus with their gifts. See if any of those activities line up with your God-given desires and giftings.
Look!
Take notice of the overlooked opportunities already around you. Look within your inner or extended circle of influence for unmet needs you could fulfill with your gifts, godly influence, or expertise.
Investigate!
Research ministries whose calling and mission line up with your godly passions and burdens. Look into the various volunteer opportunities they offer.
Remember, arriving at any destination begins by taking a few simple steps. So, be proactive in your efforts and do not give up. Before you know it, you will be using your gifts in ways you may have never imagined.
