"So is My Word that goes out from My mouth: It will not return to Me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it." (Isaiah 55:11)
This is the verse that motivates me to faithfully continue to teach my class Bible Study. This assures me that God will use His Word for His Purposes.
As I've been continuing to read "Finding the Life You've Been Looking For" and answer the Reflection questions, I would say that fulfillment for me comes from knowing that I am being effectively used by God for His Work. When I evaluate my life, I do see that I am using my spiritual gifts - Teaching, Giving, and Helps. And it is not surprising that the areas of service where I am using my gifts are the ones in which I currently find the most fulfillment. Recently, He has even used me in areas of Encouragement or Exhortation.
So, why is there a part of me that feels a little dissatisfied? From answering the Reflection questions, I think that even though I already do have meaningful areas of serving, I feel like I could be dreaming even Bigger Dreams for God. What I am currently doing may have been at other points in my life above and beyond what I might have imagined; but now, I am ready for more of God's Vision.
