Sometimes as Christians once we are saved, we want all the glory of God's promise but are not willing to do the work required. God gives each of us a specific gift or talent. And yes he does expect us to utilize that gift to enhance the lives of believers as well as non believers. Every situation God has placed you in, brought you out of or kept you in for an indefinite amount of time was specifically for you to share with those around you in the form of your testimony. You are not immune from the snares of the devil. Reality is you will probably experience more turmoil than before you became saved. But in order for God to truly use you, and your purpose to be fully exercised, you must expose yourself to the level of intimacy that is most unbearable to you. Remember your pain will be someone's peace, and could very well be the difference in someone seeking God or turning their back on him depending on the particular trial they experience.
Romans: 12: 3-8
For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you. 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 who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.
Be Blessed,
Lady 4.0
