Accept Jesus

all in all.jpg

"We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully." - Romans 12:6-8

Before you can discover God’s calling for you, you must have a personal relationship with Jesus. He offers salvation to everyone, and wants to have an intimate relationship with each of His followers. But you must remember, God reveals a calling only when we have accepted His Son.

This may put many people off, but Jesus himself said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6)

Throughout your life, God's calling for you will bring great challenges, and frustration. You will not succeed at this task on your own. Only through the constant guidance and help of the Holy Spirit will you be able to carry out your God-appointed calling. A personal relationship with Jesus guarantees that the Holy Spirit will live within you, giving you power and direction.

Unless you are born again, you will only be guessing at what your calling is. You will rely on your own wisdom, instead of on God.

Are you ready to accept Christ as your Lord and Savior so that you can begin the work that God is calling you to? Ask Christ to become your All in All today. You will not regret it!

Prayer: 
You are my strength when I am weak. You are the treasure that I seek. You are my all in all. Seeking You as a precious jewel. Lord, to give up I'd be a fool. You are my all in all Jesus, Lamb of God, worthy is Your name. Jesus, Lamb of God, worthy is Your name. Taking my sin, my cross, my shame; rising again I praise Your name. You are my all in all. When I fall down You pick me up. When I am dry You fill my cup. You are my all in all. Jesus, Lamb of God, worthy is Your name. Jesus, Lamb of God, worthy is Your name. - written by Dennis Jernigan
