In response to God's work in our hearts, we are called to share the wonders of his invisible

nature with the world in desperate need of Him. God has chosen to use us to reveal himself.

He's filled us with the Spirit and empowered us to proclaim the good

news of salvation and restored relationship with our Creator. May you discover this week that you

were made to share God's heart, and may you find joy and passion in God's longing to use you in powerful and

unique ways.

For we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand

that we should walk in them.

Ephesians 2.10.

Ephesians 2 8 through 10 says, for by grace you have been saved through faith.

And this is not your own doing.

It is the gift of God, not a result of works,

so that no one may boast. So we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works,

which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. God's grace is meant to be our catalyst to living passionate lives

that bear fruit of eternal value. You aren't meant to go through the motions. You weren't created

to live a normal life whose impact only lasts for this life. God and his grace in love has called you to more. You are made for a life

of deep and lasting impact. You are made to share God's heart with the world. It can be difficult

to understand God's heart and wanting to use us. For some, we write ourselves off as too sinful, weak, selfish, or

inept to be used by God. For others, we view God as a taskmaster who wants to use us solely

for his motives. Still, others of us believe that serving God is less fun, less fulfilling, and far stranger

than anything we'd like to do.

We're fine with a God who would give us a Get Out of Hell free card, but that's about as far
