S.H.A.P.E and Calling

Our S.H.A.P.E and Strengths

A few thoughts on "Calling" from the book: 

THE GRAND WEAVER   

How God Shapes Us Through the Events of Our Lives

 By Ravi Zacharias

 

To allow God to be God we must follow him for who he is and what he intends, and not for what we want or what we prefer. Seeing the designing hand of God and His intervention in our lives in such a way that we know He has a specific purpose for each of us and that He will carry us through until we meet Him face-to-face and know ourselves completely. 

Once we begin to see God’s hand in our life, we will know that his workmanship within us and through us was tailor-made, just for me. His design for my life pulls together every thread of my existence into a magnificent work of art. Every thread matters and has a specific purpose. 

By his sovereign will, we have come into being with an expressed and designed purpose. 

When you finally meet the One who made you and examine the lifelines he has sent you along the way, you will at last understand how every detail made sense in the swirling reality of life’s blessings and threats.
