You were put on earth to make a contribution. You weren’t created just to consume resources – to eat, breathe, and take up space. God designed you to make a difference with your life. While many best selling books offer advice on how to “get” the most out of life, that’s not the reason God made you. You were created to add to life on earth, not just take from it. God wants you to give something back. This is God’s purpose for your life. It is called your ministry, or service. The bible gives us the details.

Also, no Christian should ever think that he or she is totally independent and doesn’t need help from others. Furthermore, no one should feel excused from the task of helping others. The body of Christ—the church—functions only when the members work together for the common good. Do you know someone who needs help? Is there a neighbor, Christian brother or sister, family member who needs encouragement? Humbly and gently reach out to that person.

God desires that each human being find their proper place in the family of God. The church offers fellowship, guidance, accountability and training for service. Whether you are using your talents to glorify God or for self satisfaction, remember they are a gift from God. Wouldn't it be the right thing to do to offer them unto the Lord for His glory and for the edification of the kingdom?
