Your value in God\u2019s eyes was established at the cross. The Bible says, \u2018He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all\u2014how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?\u2019<\/i> (Romans\u00a08:32\u00a0NIV) Notice the words \u2018all things\u2019.<\/i> We\u2019re all equal in Christ. But when it comes to your career, your value is determined by the complexity of the problem you solve. That\u2019s why we pay a cardiologist more money than a short-order cook. <\/p>\n
Jesus was a problem solver. People were spiritually hungry so He said, \u2018I am the Bread of Life.\u2019<\/i> (John\u00a06:35\u00a0ESV) They were sick so He \u2018went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil.\u2019<\/i> He discerned what He had, that others needed, and provided it for them. <\/p>\n
What do you have to offer? What would you attempt to do if you knew it was impossible to fail? You\u2019re not here by accident. God told Jeremiah, \u2018Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.\u2019<\/i> (Jeremiah\u00a01:5\u00a0NIV) <\/p>\n
Everything God makes is to meet a need and solve a problem. So what are you called and gifted to do? That\u2019s where you\u2019ll find your highest level of joy! Think of your contribution to others as an assignment from God. Paul made tents to support his ministry. So your ministry may be supported by your job. But whether you are in a full-time ministry or a part-time ministry, don\u2019t leave this earth until you have found and fulfilled what God called you to do. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
