God has a call for every one of his people, and it is an exciting privilege to be used by God in helping others to find God’s call for their lives.
Each person who follows Jesus is part of God’s great purpose and plan. We are the people called out by God. As the apostle Peter proclaimed:
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” — 1 Peter 2:9
There are those who have not yet realized their purpose and mission in life and what part they can play in the kingdom of God. We can pray that God will use us to lead them into God’s purpose for their lives.
A part of leading others to find God’s call for their lives is to help them discover the spiritual gifts that God has prepared for them. God not only calls his people into a purpose, but he also presents them with spiritual gifts. And we can help others discover the spiritual gifts that God has given them, as we study with them the Bible and pray to God together and serve him.
In conclusion, we can inspire others to flourish by following Jesus daily, leading them into God’s Word, and by helping them discover God’s purpose for their lives and the spiritual gifts he has for them.
