WHAT are you gonna do with your life?
Do you remember graduating from high school annnnd EVERYONE would ask you that question!!! I sure do!!! It was always, SO NOW WHAT??? Now what? Now what? And you come up with these lines that sound good but the truth is that you HONESTLY have NO IDEA...at least it was that way for me!!!
.
.
Buuuuuut its NOT really about WHAT YOUR going to do with your life, its really about what GOD is going to do with your life. Which is why I would like to talk to you all today about finding the will of God for your life. Figuring out your life is hard thing. Growing up, I always said that I wanted to be an elementary school teacher when I grew up, JUST LIKE MY MOM!!!
.
Then one day I realized, I'm NOT my mom and I have great diffiiculty taking charge and keeping a large group of children in line!!! I work better in a smaller setting or one on one or as an assistant to the leader. Soooo when I actually graduated from high school, I thought forget that, I'm just going to get married and be a mom...HAHAHAHA!!! When that didn't work out, I decided to go to college for journalism, then I discovered that news writing was HORRIBLY boring and dull and that there was NO WAY I was willing to write about things I didn't support, I thought about psycology cuz I personally think I'm a GREAT counselor...LOL...annnnnnd THEN...I got stuck in pre-algebra...I kinda like took that class FIVE TIMES...I'm SERIOUSLEY SLOOOOOOOW when it comes to math and since I still had two more math classes HIGHER than that to pass annnnnd NOOOOO career aspiration aside from writing and being a mom...I dropped out!!!
.
Soooo your probabley thinking, Mary, your NOT exactley the most qualified person to be talking about God's will for your life and this is TRUE!!! Buuuut still, I Mary Frances Ginty, a college drop out would like to talk to you all about finding the will of God for your life. See somewhere in life, I discovered that above all else, no matter what I do, or where I go, there is ONE THING that I know beyond a shadow of a doubt, that is God's will for my life...
.
"For God so loved the
world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in
him should not perish, but have everlasting life."(John 3:16)
.
I believe that above all else we do in life, God wants us to reach the lost!!! The Bible says that whosoever believeth in him should NOT perish...that is the WHOLE reason Jesus came to earth, so that we would NOT be lost!!! I don't know how to do A LOT of things, buuuuut I DO KNOW how to tell
people about Jesus!!! You don't need a college degree to reach the
lost!!! Furthermore the Bible says in 2 Peter 3:9
.
"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count
slackness; but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should
perish, but that all should come to repentance."
.
The Bible says that God is NOT willing that ANY should perish, buuuuut that ALL should come to repentance. It is NOT the will of God for anyone to go to hell. Which means, it is HIS WILL for us to tell people how to get to heaven. God wants us to be soul winners!!! ALL OF US!!! He has called all of us to be a witness for him. It doesn't matter WHO you are...if you have obeyed Acts 2:38 and are living an overcoming life, it IS God's will for you tell somebody about him!!! .
"For this is the will of God, that every one who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life..." (John 6:40)
.
It IS the will of God for the world to believe on HIM!!! You may NOT know what educational or occupational step you need to take
next in your life, BUUUUT, you don't need to question weather or not you
should tell someone about Jesus!!! Sometimes we think, hmmmm... should I go invite that person to church? Is it God's will? You don't need to question it, GO IN VITE THEM!!! It IS God's will for them to come to church!!!
.
See, the truth is that even after graduating from high school ten years ago, I still really don't have my life all figured out!!! I still don't know what I want to do with it!!! Buuuuuut i know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that God wants me to reach the lost!!! I know, that I know, that I KNOW, that IT IS GOD'S WILL for me to be a witness!!!

.
Above all else that we may do in life, above our education, above our
careers, above our travels, we are called to be witnesses!!! It was when everything else I was trying to do in life failed me, that I found myself in the PERFECT WILL OF GOD; REACHING THE LOST!!! (You can read about that HERE) When all your other plans in life have failed you and your sitting there just trying to figure out what to do next, just GO tell someone about Jesus!!! No matter HOW bad you may feel, you STILL have a PURPOSE, BECAUSE there is STILL ONE more person that needs to hear this message of hope!!!
.
"Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish" (Matthew 18:14)
.
Are you at a standstill in your life? Tell someone about Jesus!!! Waiting on a job? Tell someone about Jesus!!! Waiting for marriage? Tell someone about Jesus!!! Stuck in college? Tell someone about Jesus!!! Trying to figure out what to do with your degree now that you've got it? Tell someone about Jesus!!! Don't know what to do next??? Its a SURE THING...
it IS THE WILL OF GOD FOR YOU...
TELL SOMEONE ABOUT JESUS!!!
"The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life;
and he that winneth souls is wise."
and he that winneth souls is wise."
(Proverbs 11:30)
