We can become discouraged and even stressed about what we should be doing for the Lord. There are many ministry opportunities and hundreds of Christian organizations and churches to serve. What is my gift? What should I do? Where should I be serving and giving my time? All these questions and all the organized programs and structures of ministry that are out there can cause us to wonder where our place is and if we are just totally failing the Lord if we are not in an organized "Church" ministry.
But the truth is, we are called to live for Jesus, follow Him, and obey Him as we walk in love and keep in step with the Holy Spirit. And Jesus wants to use us everywhere and in His way. We need only ensure our hearts are wholly given to Him and cultivated in hunger for His leading and presence. He will lead and guide you into His work as you follow and obey the Spirit's leading and guiding. We need to simply be seeking, ready and courageous and if our hearts are good soil, God will cause the fruit to come and grow.
Now, I'm not saying you shouldn't be prayerfully seeking the Lord in helping out and serving in a Church ministry, but what I'm saying is that bearing fruit in Jesus Christ is about being full in Jesus Christ.
The question is, is your heart good soil?
