I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were
born I set you apart and appointed you as my spokesman to the world.
(Jeremiah 1:5 NLT)
In Jeremiah 1:5, we’re taught that God created
Jeremiah to share the Creator’s message with the nations. In the same
way, God created you to share yourself with those around you.
You are diminished if you hide yourself under a
bushel, keeping your skills, talents, insights, joy, and pain hidden
away from others. God wants you to share yourself. He created you with a
uniqueness that enriches the world when you give yourself to the
community around you.
Maybe you’re a great singer, or a great cook, or a
great mechanic, or a great teacher. Whatever gift God has given you, he
gave it to you to give away in service to him.
Ask God why he created you and what you’re supposed
to give away. Whose life will you influence by giving of your time and
talent?
