February 5, 2023 - INSCRIPTIONS FROM THE HEART

By Cheryl Zamora

IFH: February 5, 2023

God calls you and I for a bigger purpose than just living a good life. Your God-given purpose may not be as big as someone else. Yet, God still expects us to be faithful in accomplishing His purpose. Could He be calling you to smile and greet our guests when they come to church on Sundays? Or you could look into the eyes of kids and speak Jesus to them by serving as a Sunday School or a children's teacher. Your mechanical skills can help fix women’s cars, who may be vulnerable to being oversold by hungry auto-repair shops (our Alliance Men or Deacons need you).     

If you're just starting out your journey with Jesus, God's call to you at this point may be to simply set aside half an hour daily to slowly read God's Word, allow His Spirit to speak to you in quiet reflection and be a prayer warrior!

You may have been attending CEAC for a long time now and God may very well be inviting you to get involved. God gives you a purpose bigger than yourself -- are you doing it?

The examples I gave may sound simple and small. Where is that God-given purpose that is bigger than oneself? I believe that whoever is faithful with little will be faithful with much. That is, we get the bigger assignments once we have learned to consistently say 'yes' when we do smaller things.

Life is more than becoming known especially among our peers. God has called us to live and be in this country, and city for a purpose. He has also led you to be in this church to help everyday people love Jesus, live for Him more and more -- and invite the people around us to do the same, one person at a time!
