Finding Your Calling

Can God still use me, even while I am still a sinner?
Of course He can!

At the times when we ask for forgiveness for our sins we can sometimes feel like 'God can't use me because I have failed Him.' That is Satan tricking us to make us feel unclean and unable for the Lord's work. There are times when God asks us to do something when we don't want to or feel like it. When He does we feel frustrated and find ourselves fighting against our flesh. Sometimes we can get anxious and impatient. But that is the flesh. God asks us to do things for Him to praise Him and to build up His body for the Kingdom. Sometimes we can get frustrated and make a move without asking God and confirming it with Him. We make a move without His driven faith.

Yes, it is true that He asks us to do something 'right now,' but ask Him first to put the burden on your heart if it is His Will and Calling for you. Make sure that this is what God has put on your heart and not just something you want to do. God will ask us to do things that we don't think we are capable of; things we think that are beyond our abilities, but God knows our abilities. He knows you better than you think that you know yourself. This is why we want to seek Him. As followers of Christ, we seek His counsel, and His friendship. He wants us to have an intimate relationship with Him and to help us in every need in our lives, but most of all, to help us better praise Him.

Grow with Him. Asking Him for His Will and His Calling into your life. Ask Him for the burdens you feel on your heart. If it is Evangelism, Discipling, Teaching, Helping, Preaching, whatever it may be. Ask God to show you His Calling in your life, and not of your own.
