Using Your God-Given Gifts to Serve Others
You know, in my ongoing search to be a better person, I would always ask God to help me become “a better man.” Funny thing is, I wasn’t exactly sure what that meant. I just knew that it wasn’t who I was feeling I was inside. Well, a funny thing happened...You see, while I was searching and hoping that I would have some miraculous answer from God about how I needed to change my life, he began to use me using the very things I took for granted. It seems silly to think, but he used my involvement and relationships through racing, my relationships I had built in my career and even my “gift of gab” to help spread His word. Basically using the talents He gave me to serve Him! You would have thought? I’m fact, I’m writing to you know because of a relationship I made through racing. “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace:”1 Peter 4:10 We each have things we are good at. Do you know where we got these talents? From God! When God created you, He chose specific talents for you. Do you think God made you good at things so you could just think about them? No way! How about so you can use them just for yourself? Not a chance! God gave us talents so we can serve those around us and bring Him glory. We have opportunities every day to use the things we are good at to bless others. When we use the gifts God gave us to bless others, we are also blessing God.What are you good at?Be Nice, Grace Wins!

More Than Enough
Jesus doesn't need the sharpest tool in the shed. Two fish and five loaves, a shepherd's stick, whatever you've got, is more than enough. The Lord specializes in turning failures into successes.

Reluctant Heroes
No hero in the Bible ever set out to be one. Mary, David, Abraham, they just did what was in front of them. Walk humbly with your God. That's the whole thing, isn't it?

Fixing Our Eyes
Life can feel like shoveling sand with a pitchfork, one problem after another. But God works all things together for good. The only way out of the trenches of pain is through Him.
