Quote Of The Day

"When the gift of God in us is manifesting, we profit in new ways (1 Cor. 12). Many people are clueless to the Gift of God within them. The Lord has given each of us a destiny. He has also given us a unique mix of gifts to fulfill that destiny. I believe that you will experience life at its fullest and display His glory at its richest when you passionately walk in the callings and gifting that the Lord has imparted to you."
- Chuck Pierce

Reminds me of something John Piper said:

"One of the saddest feelings in the world is the feeling that your life is going nowhere. You're alive, but you feel like there is no point in being alive. You get a little daydream - a little flicker - of what it might be like to be a part of something really great and really valuable, and what it might be like to have a significant part in it. But then you wake up and everything looks so small and insignificant and pitiful and out of the way and unknown and pointless.

We were not made to live without a destiny. We were made to be sustained by a meaningful, purposeful future. We were made to be strengthened each day by this assurance, this confidence: that what is happening in our lives today, no matter how mundane and ordinary, is a really significant step toward something great and good and beautiful tomorrow."
and

"God is most glorified in you when you are most satisfied in Him."
