How many times I've been asked that question over the years. Teachers used to use it to get you to think about what you wanted to do as a career... then they would hit you with, "well you better work harder on your grades!" Parent's asked the question. Even Sunday School teachers and youth workers.
If you could anything with your life what would it be?
I read this yesterday in 2 Thessalonians 1:11,12 and was just struck by the implications of this passage. "May [God] give you the power to accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you to do." Isn't that incredible?!
What would you do? Go on a mission trip? Share your faith? Enter into the ministry on some level? Spend more time serving others? Give generously? Foster parent? Mentor? Leader? What is the Holy Spirit birthing in you?
The God of the universe (who has unlimited power and resources and grace) is behind you! If your faith prompts you - He wants to support you! It IS incredible! God, with all He has to do, is so interested in your dreams and ambitions that He wants to make sure you have what is needed to accomplish what has been planted in you.
All that is left is for you to confirm where His Spirit is leading you and walk in faith.
Thoughts on the Bible, Church, life and living it to its full potential in Jesus Christ!
