Seeking my vocation

“Stop stealin other peoples’ blessings!” –Beth Moore

This came up in our girls' bible study group this week. How often do we see someone's facebook status update and compare our life to theirs? How often are we unhappy at other peoples' happiness?

Like it says in 1 Corinthians 12, God blesses us with different things, so we should stop stealing other peoples' blessing and start counting our own! The fingers, ears, and nose are three different parts of the body that each have different traits and do different things, but each is capable of contribution and service to the body as a whole. Likewise, we are each given different talents to serve in different ways. We need to look for our vocation, our calling, to find out how best to serve.

"Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." - 1 Thessolonians 5:18

No matter what happens to you, it's part of a greater plan. Period.
