Joy of Personalization

 

You are designed by God personally.  He made you a certain way for a reason.  He gave you your personality.  You were made perfect.  It was sin that corrupted some aspects, but it doesn't change the value of what God made in you.  He made you specifically and for a purpose.  You can take joy in who you are because you are loved so much by your creator.

    You are good at some things and lousy in other areas.  The specialization gift list is shorter than the lousy list, but that is a good thing.  How would you have time for everything if you were good at everything.  Allow other people have to be accredited for what they are good at.  Work together and become stronger and enjoy life better.

    God created people to be relational.  He wants us to work together, encourage each other, and support one another.  If you choose to be a lone wolf, then you are the one missing out and making your life more difficult which steals joy from you.  As long as you are alive, God has a purpose for your life and I guarantee that it involves other people.

    Your purpose in life will use your gifts, talents, abilities, passions, and other people.  Your areas of interest are not a mistake.  What your pursue in life may go down a wrong path, but it was placed on your heart for a reason.  If you discover how God is trying to use all of this, then you will be more energized, youthful, and enjoy life more.  You are talented and gifted.  It is time to use it for God.

    Do not ignore your weaknesses.  Work on them to become stronger.  You can turn some weaknesses into strengths and other you keep from becoming a handicap.  The purpose is so you don't have anything holding you back.  Working on these can make you more relatable to some people.  It will give you a sense of achievement and satisfaction in life.  

    Persevere in your personal growth.  Do not give up on yourself.  You don't know what you can become until you get there.  In time you are likely to enjoy the process of growth because it is significant.  

    You are your gifts, talents, life experiences, personality, weaknesses, and a creation of God.  This should be put together to give you vision for your life.  Do not give up on yourself is finding something that you do for a living that you enjoy.  You spend the majority of your waking hours involved in work.  It is important to find what you are good at, so you can find joy in work.
