If you read about or see people working in ministry in some way and wonder “what can I do?”…there are several different types of organizations all over the world that work to help others. Every city has multiple organizations that work towards helping the hungry or homeless or those with addictions or tutoring for students, etc. The key to figuring out what to do is ask God to help you identify or guide you to the gifts/talents he has blessed you with.
We can never forget that God created each and everyone of us with certian gifts and if we are paying attention we can learn what those gifts are and use them to help others in some way. Even if you have never done anything before or you think “well I don’t have anything to offer.” It is just not true because God did provide you gifts to use in this world that will help others and the only way to know exactly what those are is to try new things and see how they fit who you are.
So go ahead…think about the things you enjoying doing and look for an organization that needs volunteers in that speciality.
The most important lessoned I have learned this week is this…..I have been blessed by God and all he needs me to do is go out and try to Meet A Need in our world based on the gifts he gave me!
How great is our God?!
