Playground of Possibilities

Perhaps you’ve let go of what used to bring you such joy. Or you find yourself going through each day in a job that pays the bills, but doesn’t stimulate your heart. Some say it’s impossible or extremely rare to find a job that can do both. Perhaps. But why not be one of the rare ones?

If you haven’t found your calling yet, don’t believe for a minute that you don’t have one. If that is you, my suggestion is to find God before you try to find your talent. Spend time with him. And see what the two of you will discover together on the playground of possibilities. He may surprise you by inviting you into something you never imagined doing and yet now can’t imagine doing anything else.

His motive in giving you specific talents isn’t primarily so you’ll be productive. Here’s your gift. Now get busy making things happen. It is so your desires can find their fulfillment in him. Productivity and efficiency aren’t what he’s most interested in. They measure the external performance but never the internal rhythm of your heart. God doesn’t need your help as much as he wants your heart. Whenever you start to focus more on your talents and gifts than on him, you miss the main invitation. Which is to pursue them together. With him.

God’s offer is primarily relational and internal. How to be more rather than simply do more. When you awaken to that invitation, the possibilities are endless.
