Use It!

Do you want to fulfill your God-given destiny? I encourage you to take the gifts and talents God has given you and help someone else. If you're passionate about running, help someone else learn to run. Don't limit how God can use you to minister to others. Ministry is not just leading worship or preaching from a pulpit. Ministry is using your talents to serve Him and meet the needs of other people.
I recently led a running group from Faith Family Church. I had six runners complete their first half marathon, all in times that far exceeded their expectations. There is greatness in using your gifts and talents to serve other people. Whatever talent God has given you, use it and expect God to show up big! Read the story of the widow in 1 Kings 17:8-16. She overcame her fear and gave the only food she had in her house to the prophet. God used her little bit if meal to save her and her son. So use what you have an expect God to move!
