BE WHO YOU ARE

Some of us may know what it is like to have a job that you just absolutely HATE!!!  When you have a job that you hate it seems to affect every other part of your life.  Everyday that you have to go to your job seems to be another unfulfilled day in your life.  It feels as though your trapped and your going to waste your life stuck in a dead end job.  You look around and see everybody else doing jobs that look like it just fits who they are.  Everybody else looks like they have a job that they love and you just can't seem to figure out why you can't have a job that you love also.  You feel as though you are not doing what you were wired to do.  Many people in the world have these feelings about their jobs, but there are also those in church who have these feelings also.  They feel as though they are doing something they really don't want to do.  There are people in the body of Christ who are being convinced that they need to do things that they were really never meant to do.  As the body of Christ we are all different and unique and God has made each and every one of us to fulfill a unique calling to who He wants us to be.  God wires us with desires that are His desires and puts in us a will to want to live a life that fulfills the desires He gives us.  When we act outside of the things that God has for us we are trying to do something that God never meant for us to do.  Many Christians get stuck in this trap where they allow other people to tell them what they are supposed to do, rather than fulfilling the desires that God has placed inside of them.  Consider what the bible says about this.  Philippians 2:13 ISV For it is God who is producing in you both the desire and the ability to do what pleases him.   God first puts in us a desire to do something for Him, and then enables us with the ability to do it.  Too often though we as Christians suppress these desires because we are told that we are supposed to be outside of our "comfort zones", and do things that we really have no desire too.  If God has not put the desire in your heart to do something then I would suggest not doing it.  Sometimes we jump into things that we have no buisness being involved in and instead of growing deeper in our walk with Christ, we become too busy with something we don't enjoy doing.  Matthew 7:7 ISV "Keep asking, and it will be given to you. Keep searching, and you will find. Keep knocking, and the door will be opened for you.   Seek God in all that you do and whatever desires that He places in your heart, live those out.  Glorify God by living out the desires that He places inside of you.
