hey sis! today's question will help point us in the direction of our God-given gifts & talents - Where did you find your greatest joy as a child? God plants seeds of purpose inside us from a young age. Let us know in the comments! For me - I LOVED being creative, and doing arts and crafts projects. I can see now how the gift of creativity is helping me walk about my purpose in this season.

PHEW! imaging that always ignites a fire. Be obedient to whatever direction He's leading you!! I was dabbling way more into lifestyle/ testimony-based content over the past year. I felt His nudges to get back to this style of content that i was posting before being signed to a management agency. I was nervous to make the switch! But I did and I literally prayed 'Lord, I've this is truly the direction you want me to go in - make it abundantly clear by the response' and SIS - the way you guys have been unknowingly confirming this redirection/ pivot. I'm shook. So grateful and so glad I chose to be obedient. All the goes to say - what He has in store on the other side of your obedience is likely going to blow your mind

Strangers have come in Jesus name to help me. That’s how powerful Jesus name is. I will never stop trusting in Jesus, even though I’m struggling putting groceries in my refrigerator, and paying bills. Like many others, I lost my job as a social worker because I declined the vaccine. I declined because of my pre existing health condition (Lupus) and Heart disease. I was denied my medical/religious exemption from Forsyth Hospital. I’m waitressing but not making nearly enough to make ends meet. My husband is in heaven with God. I’m all alone. No family nor friends. Both of my sons are autistic, and non verbal so they require a lot from me. Every month is a struggle, not end up on the streets. I’m so tired of struggling. BUT I HAVE FAITH GOD WILL PROVIDE. He has this far. Thank you Jesus. I BELIEVE. Faith over fear! This is my testimony! He will always make away! Praise Jesus Praise our Heavenly Father!

I was lukewarm for years after a bad run in with a church, but I’m back on the Lord’s side now. The last few years was really tough for me because I knew I had to pick a side (New Age vs. God) and it did feel great in dabbling with Tarot and looking at my Astro wheel, however I knew where I needed to be. I grew up in the church and always loved God so I threw away everything New Age and started getting back in the Word. I didn’t want to be with the nonbelievers and heathens and sorcerers. I’m a child of the King.

As a child I liked helping my grandma and other family around the house and I loved to read. I would Cook, clean, do laundry and read every book she would read. I often defended people and even now I’m protective of others. I truly believe I have a servants heart. I want to take care of people and animals. I don’t like seeing homeless people. It’s sad. As a little girl I wanted to be rich enough to build an apartment for old and homeless people. I’d have enough money to provide healthcare and food for them. At times I still think about this. Now I wasn’t to buy land and build a farm with tiny houses.

This was so good! I’m not sure if it’s because of trauma that I’ve experienced but I don’t remember much about my childhood or anything that I did that brought me joy. Didn’t have a happy childhood , that much I remember. I am now 29 years old trying to parent myself as I parent my two beautiful children. It’s hard. Trying to also figure out what my calling is, it’s hard and it saddens me sometimes when I truly don’t understand why I am here. I want to please the Lord, be useful to him & his plan for humanity but I just don’t know how or what. I’ve made a mess of my life so far and God has been so gracious to me, so kind to not allow me to be completely lost to the mess I’ve made but in a sense I still feel so lost. I appreciate this video so much.

We were all born into this sinful nature, but God being so merciful to us wanted a second chance for us all. To be born again and to be transformed by the renewal of our minds (Romans 12:1). As we come to surrender everything at the feet of Jesus (our thoughts, our worldly issues, heartbreak, anxieties, our habits, our harmful character traits), we exchange it all for our identify that is found only in Christ. As colossians 3:3 says: "For you died, and your life is now hidden in Christ". Each person has their unique talents / gifts that are God given, each serving their own purpose. Some people have gifts that are used for preaching and reaching large groups of people, some people have gifts that work more w healing and helping specific individuals, and many many more. There are actually ways to find what your natural strengths and weaknesses are in regards to how you can serve the people around you. Still, the command that we are given as followers of Christ: "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. " Matthew 28:19-20

Too often I get caught up praying about my own hopes and desires, issues and concerns, and leave off the prayer for the lost. God has truly been revealing to me how little my walk with him has to do with me, and how much it is about witnessing to souls and expanding the Kingdom!

As a kid I found my joy in worshiping. Whenever there were service cell groups in my area, my parents say I wouldn't sleep coz I would always say I wanted to go attend the services just for the worship😂. When I was still in Sunday school, around age 8/9, I was recruited to join the praise and worship team (I'm not even a great singer). Now at the church I go to I always arrive early so that I don't miss the worship session😅 and everytime I feel anxious or I'm stressed out, worshipping calms me down. Ok let me watch the video now😂👌🏽

I know what my gifts are but I'm not sure of my purpose or God's plan for me.

My greatest joy came when I started kindergarten. I had to wait until I was 5 and 8 months because I turned 5 in January. I was able to read when I entered school and my teacher let me sit in front of the class and read a book while she cleaned off the tables. As I look back over my life and jobs I have held, they were not with teaching kids, but I always found a way to reach out to the children while I was helping their parents. While I am older now and did not follow my heart in regards to teaching, perhaps this is the time to write my book that could still help the children and parents. God bless you for this video!

My greatest joy was being in the kitchen. I was actually reminiscing earlier on how my cousin would allow myself, a 12 years old cook dinner unsupervised, lol! But she trusted me and so did her family! So each weekend I went over and cooked all new recipes. That carried over into me going to a technical high school where I was in a culinary class. I then earned 2 degrees in the culinary field! I'm currently not using my degree but that's where my greatest joy was as a child, in the heart of the home, the kitchen... and that's where I need to be with God and God with me... in my heart! Thank you for this message sister in Christ! This really helped realize some lukewarm activities in my life! I pray that God continues to bless you and your family! Amen!

I love talking to people and hearing their stories. When I was a substitute teacher, one of my fave things to do with the students was ask them their opinion on a topic. They loved it and so did I. I would require they remain respectful with their answers, but yeah…there is something, but working full time, I’m asking God’s guidance on how to proceed. God bless you Melody and your ministry!
