What needs will you meet?
Yesterday
you were asked to focus on who you cared about. What group do you feel
most passionate about? Now it is time to look within that group to
identify the needs.
Every group will have all kinds of needs and
it will take a multitude of spiritual gifts, abilities, personalities
to meet each need within this group. If your passion lies with
children, you are not responsible for meeting every need in the
Children's Ministry. God is calling you along with many other people
to complete all that needs to be done in your area of ministry.
Take a look at the following specific needs in order to identify your passion within your passion.
- Spiritual Needs . . . helping people discover Christ and reach their full potential for him.
- Physical Needs . . . meeting practical needs by providing resources such as food, clothing, shelter, and other necessities.
- Relational Needs . . . helping other people develop authentic, healthy, Christ-centered relationships.
- Emotional Needs . . . helping people achieve emotional well-being or deal with a difficult situation.
- Educational Needs . . . helping people gain knowledge, abilities, or insight, through teaching or leading.
- Vocational Needs . . . assisting people to overcome barriers and
reach vocational goals through training, coaching, and consulting.

Today's Prayer:
Dear God, thank you for supplying all my needs. I am especially grateful for the people you have used to meet my needs throughout my life. I know that you are calling me to meet other people's needs in the same way. Show me the needs you want me to help meet, and remind me how I am created to be used as a part of your plan to meet them.
