What is it your enjoy doing? What is it you do well? Believe it or not, there is a reason you have a passion for something. “God made only one version of you. He custom designed you for a one-of-a-kind assignment.”
In Max Lucado’s new book “You Can Be Everything God Wants You To Be” Max explains that there is a reason that we have passion for things in life. There is also a reason that not everyone has the same passion. If we all liked the same things, then we would all do the same things.
This book is smaller and easy to read but it packs a powerful message. A great gift book for those who are graduating, or those who think God cannot use them. We can all be used by God to reach out and fulfill the mission of God.
My favorite quote from the book is: "The Spirit has given each of us a special way of serving others." Enough of this self-deprecating "I can't do anything." And enough of its arrogant opposite: "I have to do everything." No, you don't! You're not God's solution to society, but a solution in society. Imitate Paul, who said, "Our goal is to stay within the boundaries of God's plan for us" (2 Cor. 10:13 NLT). “
There are three types of people whom I will recommend this book too. Those who ask what God wants them to do, those that say they cannot be used by God and those who think they have to do it all.
