Summary

You don’t have to be a professional to use your God-given gifts. God never intended for you to live an ordinary life all about yourself. Take a leap of faith and serve others with the gifts God has given you.

Key points from the film

  • Be who you were created to be. Don’t get caught up in the rat race of daily life and put the gifts God has given you aside. Imagine what your life could look like if you let God move through you and use the gifts He has placed inside of you. If you give the desires of your heart to God and start serving, you would be amazed at what God uses you to do. 
  • Stay connected. Life happens, and some circumstances are out of your control, but don’t let them cause you to give up. You will have trouble in this world, but Jesus has overcome it all. When you stay connected to Jesus and keep showing up to church, you can make it through anything. 
  • Pick up your dropped dreams. With every dream comes Hell’s attempt to turn it into a nightmare. When resistance comes, it’s not because you missed it. The closer you get to the dream, the harder it gets. What feels like a mess can become a path to something miraculous in your life. Everything you’re dreaming of is on the other side of not giving up. 
  • Don’t give up. You may be going through or coming out of a very hard season, but if you’re still alive, God’s not done with you. Keep your dream alive; you never know what open doors of opportunity are right around the corner. 
  • Give God your yes. Your life isn’t just about the here and now. Take your gifts and passions and put them into the hands of God.

Final Thoughts:

You were never meant to carry it all by yourself. The gap from where you are to where you need to be can only be met by the Way-maker, Jesus. Make Him the Lord of your life and allow Him to use you to reach others.

 

Reflection Question:

1.    What are the desires of your heart that God may use to help someone else?

2.    How has your church been there for you when you went through a trying time? 

3.    How might God be calling you to use the gifts He has given you?
