We are adequate!
On our spiritual journey we will find the Holy Spirit stirring us up to do things we have never done before. When He does this, we need to respond in a positive way; knowing that whatever He wants us to do, He gives us everything we need to accomplish it. We are co-workers. He calls us, He anoints us and He works with us.
Whenever the Holy Spirit opens a new door or gives me the opportunity to speak, pray or do something for someone I get excited because I know that God is going to do something wonderful. He wants you and I to be a blessing to someone and I believe that when we do that, a blessing always returns to us at some future time.
The Lord has called us to be a blessing. As we continue on in our spiritual growth, we should become a greater and greater blessing to all those around us, whether they be friend or enemy, Christian or non-Christian.
In the world we do a favor for someone expecting the favor to be returned. In the kingdom of God we give a blessing expecting nothing in return otherwise it is not a blessing. Some individuals and families cannot be a blessing to one another, they can only do favors for one another because now you owe me.
Thank God He has taken us beyond doing favors for one another to becoming a blessing to one another.
