Do you feel God calling you to make a change?

You want to help people. But you’re not sure how to move forward.

It’s hard to focus on what you want to do because you need to function for everyone in your life.

But you don’t want to bury your talent. Instead, you want to embrace what God wants you to be. He gave you a unique gift.

Once you spend more time with Jesus, He ignites a spark in you.

He works in your heart to conform to His way. He is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6).

But you sin. We all do.

So why does He need us to help Him?

He doesn’t. He needs us to help each other. 

Then He said to them, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” Luke 10:2, NKJV

Jesus chooses people to teach and spread the word of God. He wants His chosen to go forward in love to different cities. But, just like a ripe harvest, there is no gain unless the laborers gather the crop. So it’s a balancing act between timing and conditions.

If the crop is picked too early, the farmer has to pay more for handling it. But, on the other hand, it could mean losing more plants if it’s too late.

Signs indicate when the crop needs to be picked, but the farmer must have a keen eye.

Once picked, preparation is meticulous. Specific stages of the harvest process are essential and take time.

Jesus tells us the harvest is great, but we must be like the farmer and read the signs. People need encouragement, mercy, and love.

And we all need Jesus.

If someone is going through the hardest time in their life and we shove a Bible in their face and tell them it will make everything better, they probably aren’t ready for that yet.

But in the same situation, if we offer comfort or encouragement through our gifts from the Holy Spirit, we have a better impact.

God made every one of us a unique reflection of His glory.

You help people with your gift.

You have a perspective that no one else does in this world. Your life experience helps you connect with people in a particular way, walking with them through trials you’ve been through yourself.

But when you believe in Jesus, and the Holy Spirit comes into your life, you are blessed with a spiritual gift that tends to the harvest.

Some people are the leaders, guiding people through organization and planning. Others are the comforters, loving people in every moment.

Helping people is an important part of your calling because He wants you to share it, regardless of your gift.

Where God calls your heart, that’s where He needs you.

So spend time with Him, even a few minutes in the morning before your coffee.

The more you pray and spend time with God, the easier it’ll be to see His purpose.

You can make a difference right now. Don’t burn yourself out trying to live up to the world’s expectations.

You are fearfully and wonderfully made!

God bless you!
