Listening To Your Heart

As water reflects a face, so a man's heart reflects the man.
Proverbs 27:19

Do you want to discover your God-given assignment? Listen to your heart! Of over six billion people on the planet, nobody has a heartbeat exactly like yours. In the same way, God has given you an emotional heartbeat that races when you think about certain subjects and activities. Don't you instinctively care more about certain things than others? These are clues to where you should be serving. Don't ignore them! Listen: "serve him with all your heart" (Deuteronomy 11:13). God wants you to serve Him passionately, not dutifully. Rarely do we excel at tasks we don't feel passionate about. Listening for "your inner promptings" can lead you to the ministry God intends you to have. One tell tale sign is enthusiasm! When you're doing what you love to do, nobody has to motivate you, check up on you, applaud you or reward you; you do it for the sheer enjoyment. Furthermore, whenever you're doing what God wired you to do, you get good at it. Passion drives progress. If you don't care about something you'll never excel at it. The highest achievers in any field are those who do it because of passion, not duty or profit. Don't waste your life doing something that doesn't express your heart. Meaning is far more important than money. Ultimately, money doesn't satisfy. What's the point of having a lot to live on, if you've nothing to live for? Figure out what you love to do - what God gave you a heart to do - then do it for His glory!

Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me to work more and more in my passion, serving you! In Jesus' Name, Amen
