Until we do

Are you a Christian? Are you a child of GOD? A joint heir with JESUS CHRIST? If you are, you have been called to do some good works. No, not to make you more saved, nothing can do more. And, no, not to bring glory to yourself. As a child of GOD, we are all called to reflect our Father, and we do that by doing His good will.

Now, what GOD has called you to do is between you and Him only. I don't know what He has called you to do. I don't know where He will call you to serve. I don't know when He will call on you to do something. Again, that is between you and Him. I just know that He didn't save us to do nothing.

Today's word is Ephesians 2:10, NIV, which reads, "For we are GOD'S handiwork, created in CHRIST JESUS to do good works, which GOD prepared in advance for us to do."

These good works that I reference were prepared in advance for us to do. GOD has a plan for His children, and it is for us to seek His will and to do it. Again, He alone knows what He has prepared for each of us individually. It is our calling to seek Him out and to do that which He has called us to do. Yours may be in an area that He has gifted you, or it may be in an area completely out of your comfort zone. If it is out of your comfort zone, He will give you what you need in order to accomplish His will. All you have to do is seek to do it.

I read today's passage this morning and it just reminded me that GOD has a plan and a purpose for my life. I am His child and He has something for me to do. My part in it all is to diligently seek Him and, then, do that which He has prepared for me to do, and for which He has prepared me to do. We were created to do good works. And, as I have said before, we won't be happy until we do.

Be Blessed,
